I didn't believe it when I first heard about it but apparently it is true. This is without a doubt the grossest thing I've ever seen.

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.

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 guess it's about time I let everyone in on this. The night of July 4th, Peggy Carter agreed to become my wife.

I wanted to make everyone aware of the situation involving the undersea quakes that have been (literally) rocking Wakanda and other African nations. We have been studying and monitoring these submarine earthquakes, as any damage that occurs is not necessarily due to just the quake itself but whatever natural disaster the quake triggers - a tsunami, for example.

So far, there have not been any instances of major flooding or infrastructure damage occurring. However, the quakes seemed very deliberate in that they stopped once some sort of relic was believed to have been washed ashore along a coastline in South Africa - I have sent my top War Dog to investigate this matter, but we all need to be on alert.

There could be much more to come.

Today was René Favarolo's birthday. He was an Argentine cardiac surgeon whose work revolutionized his field. Super modest, he was reluctant to be called the 'father' of the coronary bypass surgery but come on -- he invented the saphenous aortocoronary bypass, which is what we do today: take a vein out of your leg, and use it to re-route blood flow.

Google has honoured him today with the coolest little doodle and appropriately enough, I spent my early morning doing an emergency double bypass.

Cheers, Dr. Favarolo! I hope you're enjoying some barbacoa up there in doctor heaven, where everyone listens to you, no one lies about what medications they're already on, and your scrubs stay clean.

[ Private message to Hope and Scott ]

Are either of you available to have a chat with Shuri? I never remember who knows who here, but she is T'Challa's younger sister, he mentioned she might have some ideas about how to make the quantum healing particles a more permanent thing.

That way I don't have to worry about when this good streak is going to wear off and the pain comes back

So. The time stone reacted to my other self showing up. Meeting your other self inadvertently? Not merely a trope. It really is a bad idea.

Your calendars and date settings aren't wrong. It was 2019. It really is four years in the future and it really is 2023 now.

Sorry.

> We have a new arrival, Ava Starr. She's having some phasing issues after the transference. I've escorted her to the basement of Stark's where the quantum tunnel machine is.

> I can open a portal so you can help her, if either of you are available.

( (spoilers!) - net post with messages for Steve, Loki, Peter P., & Nat. )

Greetings all. I am T'Challa, and I believe I know some of you - some I do not. But I have just arrived in New York City and will be staying in the building a version of me purchased? in the penthouse at 30 Warren, what we may call a diplomatic residence.

We have a Wakandan Outreach Center in Oakland, and I am more familiar with that area - despite my many trips to New York City, I have not gotten a chance to explore very much. If there is anyone willing to assist with this, it would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise, I hope to settle in. I have a feeling this will be quite the experience.

( (spoilers within) net post )

Here's your comforting monthly notice that the universe isn't folding in on itself like origami.

I was busy overseas. If anyone has any mystical, paranormal, or occult issues or questions, I can answer them now. No, you can't touch or hold the relics.

If you ask me any questions, Stark, I'm not answering. I know not to feed the trolls. Have Pepper ask instead, so she can filter you.

[Jane]

I apologize that I haven't gotten a chance to talk to Thor. I'll do this as soon as possible. There was a series of Κῆρες sightings in the Mediterranean that I had to look into.

[Thor]

I'd like you to stop by the Sanctum when you have some time. I wanted to talk to you about Jane's condition and what to expect, and to ask for an update about your brother. No need to set up a time. I'll know when you're stopping by.

[Wanda]

I wanted to see how you are feeling about your level of control with your powers. Is everything feeling more finely honed. or do you feel like you need more time in the mirror dimension to practice?

Hey everyone. I’m Peter. Parker? Peter Parker. From Queens. I’m Mr. Stark’s intern and he said I should post here cause I guess we’re all in the same boat? I’m from the other universe which was just…the worst remake of every bad apocalypse movie I've ever seen. Seriously. But I’m not dust in the wind here like that really old song and I got to catch an actual Pikachu, so this timeline's not that bad so far.

I can’t believe some of you are Avengers?? What’s that even like? How do you even

Anyway, hi! Um, how's everyone's day going?

[Drax/Gamora/Peter Quill]

I probably should have mentioned this before when the reality stone was freaking out, but most people around here don’t know I’m Spider-man? That would be so cool if you guys could keep that between us. It was pretty awesome working together! I can cross 'catching Pokemon with aliens' off my bucket list now.

I've just come from the end of the world. I'm not in entirely presentable condition. Maybe try not to bombard me with information.

But I figured I should - say hi, or something. If only so Dr. Strange doesn't have to lie to anyone about finding me in Central Park yesterday.

Not to cause any anxiety over impending attacks, but there's been a change. After casting out a spell, there's some people that are now missing. I'm unable to locate Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanoff, and Darcy Lewis.

Okoye has returned to Wakanda, seemingly unaware of anything relating to this being a splinter universe.

It didn't set off any alarms as far as any significant threats bleeding over into this universe. It was a very small cosmic ripple. I'll continue to monitor.

I proposed, and he said yes.

Hey guys.

So. Jane's birthday was terrible because of obvious reasons. Thanks to Scott's idea of throwing Jane a re-birthday party, I've opt to take charge of this because, ya know. Best friend status.

Either way, the party will be this Saturday at Asgard warehouse [address].

EVERYONE is invited, party is at 8pm see you all there!

I will admit... I've missed the taste of Starbucks strawberry acai while back home.

So it is good to have it in my grasp once again.

Yay! We won at something that somewhere else didn't win at.

I think we've all earned a vacation.

So here it is. You name it, you got it. I'm sending you (and a plus one, if applicable) on an all expense paid vacation to wherever the hell you wanna go to. Max limit of two weeks. Plane tickets and prepaid expense cards can be picked up within 24 hours of request at Stark Industry's front desk on the main floor.

GUYS THEYRE ALIVE

TONY. JANE. Quantum tunnel connection. NOW

Wanda and Strange did magical puppetry and reached to me through the tunnel. They’re in another dimension. We have to connect ours with theirs.

*insert picture of whiteboard Wanda wrote in Romanian with the coordinates*

Avenger* sound off.




[* meaning everyone....except for Tony]

Heads up, Frigga wants to help.

I told you that we should stick together. I warned you that divided, we lose. But you had to do it your own way. Now people are dead. People we love. Just like the dreams warned us. Maybe you’ll listen to me now.

NO ONE SEPARATES FROM THE GROUP!

Those of us that are left, we stick together. And I mean all of us. We gather at Tony’s. Now. Tony, I’m sorry I’m volunteering your place without asking you first, but it’s the largest and best defended. We’ll decide what to do and where to go from there. Together.

From here on out…Guardians, SHIELD, whatever….we are all Avengers!

[Message to Thor, Darcy, Loki, Tony, Pepper, Hope, Scott, Steve, and Bucky]

Hi. I know this is last minute but a lot has been happening and I didn't know if I should do anything. But if you're free, I'd love to have you over for dinner tomorrow, on Sunday, to celebrate my birthday.

So I suppose I should make this official before Tony explodes.

In about 8 1/2 months there will be a new little Stark. Personally I'm hoping for a girl Stark because I think a little Tony might be like dividing by zero or something.

Hey, guys. First, I hope everyone is settled in. Some of us have been here longer than others. Some, like me, have been here before but don't remember. Regardless, things are starting to heat up. Nat and I were talking and we think it's about time we all met up to talk about everything.

( [to Team Science: Hope, Jane, and Scott] )

( [to Darcy] )

( [to Pepper] )

So I guess this is where I tell everyone that I'm here. I think there's a few people I need to talk to.

Sorry to put a break in talks of Borat and other fun stuff, but if anyone is interested in quantum entanglements (the nature of), or the quantum realm in general, it's like someone unscrewed my skull and dumped in a bunch of information. I mean, it's a place governed by something else than normal laws of physics - there's still so much to learn, but from what I know now, I think it could help us understand how to move within time and space the way no one ever has before. And SHIELD is shit, but we already knew that--

( Scott )

You'd think with everything that's been going on people would disengage from their cell phones long enough to realise that traffic moves when the light's green and, subsequently, people on the sidewalk stop so that they don't get hit.

Flying sharks not enough to make people pay attention to their surroundings? As long as we don't have another alien invasion, I'm betting human stupidity is what's going to end up wiping most of the people off this planet.

[Private: Fury]
Any more news on the secret SHIELD you're building?

Scott and I did some research - mostly looking at layers in the atmosphere, and changes in the molecules. Molecules are always shifting, and there's always a greater number of them the higher you go in the atmosphere, but based on output from the spectrometer and microplate readers? Molecules, density, pressure - it's all changing rapidly. Far too rapidly.

Almost like there's set to be another 'splitting off' when it comes to the universe? Not saying it's that exactly, but this particular universe is shaken. And I'm uncertain as to why, but I assume other people might have more input when it comes to that part. We can also look to insect life, but the ants basically confirm everything I said - the chemical signals they emit to each other say to relocate their hoard elsewhere.

Okay, who went and pissed off Thor?

Nat - I think we're going to need some new lightbulbs

Does anyone else feel as though a storm is approaching?

[Pietro]
Stay close.

Has the dust settled down on all of that yet? Is it safe to talk to you guys? Because I'd like to express to you men types that if you host a bachelor party for Tony keep it as low key as possible, please?

Ladies? I'm going to need as much help as I can get!

[Nat]
Want to be my maid of honor?

( This is the Blue Horsehead Nebula in infared light )

[Sif, Valkyrie]
I was able to pick up my Asgardian dress and bring it to New York. Do either of you want it?

[Thor]
I picked up my dress from Asgard when I got my lab equipment. I've offered it to Sif and Valkyrie but if they're not interested, do you want it? Hang onto it for when you're reunited with your people and give someone a piece of home?

I never thought New York would be cleaner than California but it is. Even the ants are happy about it. Oh, and by the way? If you DO see ants, please don't squish them. They're probably mine or Hope's. But also don't squish them anyways they're good people--er. Ants.

( Private to Hope )

( Private to Valkyrie )

( Private to Doctor Strange )

Looks like I'm not in Kansas anymore.

New York is different to how I remember it. Pretty sure that's to be expected... but the hot dogs still taste the same.

Hey guys! It's me, Scott.

Yay weird circumstances? So I guess, yeah. I'm here, and I'll be doing some contract work for people who need some electrical engineering or programming without the whole...legal paper nonsense. Because that former theft stuff really puts a damper on trying to do anything ever again.

Day to day aside if anyone needs Ant Man for heroly things--and where are we with that anyways? Should I be talking about that? Whatever, I'm here. Again. Let's just not...go to jail this time. Full disclaimers needed before hopping back into the suit. I have a kid I would still like to see. Please. Thanks. Cool.
