Second Chances: the Network

A few of us got together and did this last year for the "Christmas spirit" (whatever that actually is) and I thought it would be fun to do it again. And the people around here are used to weirdness anyway, best as I can tell.

So! Winter Wonderland? Golden Gate Park would be so pretty all snow covered and it's fot that hill that might be fun for sledding.

I need really good date ideas. Not like... datey-dates

but like really fun dates

that people who like to hang out could do.

I googled it and it says the pier? But I only have like twenty bucks saved up and like dinner there is kinda expensive.

Maybe something chill?

I don't know.

This is stupid.

Can I ask you a personal question?

And I should mention I don't actually mean to eavesdrop or whatever it is when you sometimes hear what people are thinking but you don't actually hear them saying it out loud.

[ETA: Filter to Dick Grayson]

You'd better be nice to him. And treat him well and stuff.

If I talk to you about something serious are you going to actually listen or are you going to get all weird and run away?

Not for any particular reason or anything but do we have anyone around who knows like...psychic stuff? Empath kinda things?

Unacceptable. I am needed in Gotham.

Grayson. Todd. They assured me you were here and then refused to let me leave. They are under the impression that I need a guardian.

[Richard and Jason]

Bring clothes when you collect me. I was in the middle of something.

Some of my students are complaining about the substitute history teacher. Something about their voice being so monotone that they fall asleep no matter how many Monsters they slam.

If anyone is interested in a day job as a high school history teacher, I'm sure Angie can doctor some degrees and pull the same strings she pulled to get me my position. Bonus points if you can tell a factual story without putting teenagers to sleep.

My circuits seem to have gone haywire. The boys' powers are also uncontrollable. I am currently focusing on keeping the boys safe.

So, I know we've been training and a lot of us have tried organizing before, but Steve's Stark and I have an idea.

Most of you are familiar with the Avengers, some of you might not be. Either way, with everything that happens around here, we figured it wouldn't be the worst idea to team up again and meet regularly to be more prepared for the kind of crap we've been seeing over the years.

Meetings are in Tony's lab on Saturdays. Everyone is welcome (though if you're under 18, we will have a few ground rules).

No pressure for anyone who wants to stay out of this, either. I know some of you have long since retired from the 'superhero' gig, and that's completely okay. You deserve a break. This is just about keeping everyone safe and being prepared the next time birds, lizards, or aliens attack. Or maybe giant jello creatures- I have no idea what's coming.

HELP I NEED A GROWNUP!

Those birds got my dad and he's all pecked up and his wires are messed up and I can't carry him and I tried doing it by magic and it isn't working HELP.

LOOK AT THIS!!!

I AM REAL.

I AM A REAL BOY I DONT HAVE STRINGS OR NOTHIN!

And pizza is so awesome. And soda is so awesome. Food just... tastes so good.

I'm magic too now! I can move things with my brain! COME LOOK!

Wow, and here I was thinking, "a whole ass welcome wagon? In MY afterlife? Damn I really did do something right!" And then I realized that there's no way in hell (hell included) that the afterlife is San Francisco.

I did some preliminary research on the specs of this universe. Interesting timeline! Loving the fact that the general populace doesn't think mutants are terrorists. But I need the hot goss. Who is this universe's costumed power couple? Where are The Real Housewives of Avengers Tower??? Who are we rooting for on this season of The Superpowered Bachelor?!!

Hi. Bobby Drake here. Work name Iceman. I'm funny, charming, hot (but make it ice), and very happy to not be dead.

I owe many thanks to both Tony Starks and Captain Rogers. I regret the things I said and did while under that woman's influence. I'm eternally grateful to those who stepped in to take care of my boys. Thank you.

I think maybe the grownups have a point and you probably shouldn't eat all your Easter candy ar one time.

Or at least the peeps. You shouldn't eat all your peeps at one time.

I'm really itchy and I feel like there's gross things all over me and I don't know if I'm just alergic to the mean flowers or if this is my mean flower gift thing but I don't like it and I hope it goes away soon.

Billy and Tommy's birthday is tomorrow. I hired one of those houses that bounce for tomorrow afternoon. I also have a cake large enough for everyone. Plan on the cake around 7 p.m.

I did NOT volunteer for any of this. I was never meant to have children for a very, very, VERY specific reasons. I am not a fan of them.

At all.

Send carbs.

Daddy...

I'm not trying to be mean, but I'm really, really glad you cant forget things...
