Second Chances: the Network

Can't say that I had getting sent to an alternate version of San Francisco that's a lot like where I'm from but not exactly where I'm from on the bingo card for Shit The Happens To Me This Year.

Might as well make the best of it, I guess.

What's up, everyone? I'm Kate Bishop.

Now that Hardison's secured the network, I have a request.

IF you are safe to do so: Record-Record-Record.

Audio, video—anything you can. Start compiling everything you've seen, heard, or documented since the beginning and send it to me. I'm starting to put together a timeline, and all of it will help. We call this the "discovery phase".

The Liaison Office may have let us down, but that doesn't mean we can't go after the people behind this.

So ....


Molly and I went to get ice cream as a date like we usually do and we were waiting at the bus stop to take the bus home again like we usually do and then some guy come up to us and he was like "I found two of them" and like we were the only two people at the bus stop so I think he was talking about us but I have no idea who he is but he seemed to know who me and Molly are and that was not cool but he wasn't very friendly and he was talking to other people, but I didn't see them and I didn't want to get into a fight or let Molly get into a fight so I grabbed her and I ran as fast as I could but they have these traps for fast runners and it was like a trip wire or something and it knocked me off balance and I feel real hard and my arm really hurts and there is probably more of them throughout the city and I couldn't really pick up Molly anymore so we couldn't run but they were still looking for us so we tried to go around the long way and get back to the building but we got outside of the city and now we can't get back into the city and we don't really have any money for a hotel or nothing and I also don't know if hotels will let teenagers buy rooms

I've found an amazing bakery which does delicious gluten free cakes and bread! Definitely a check in the plus column for this neighborhood.

[Cisco, Kara, Caitlin]

I know it's short notice, but would you like to come over this evening for drinks and cake? I just realised what day it is.

[Samirah]

Would you be okay if we (might) have company this evening? It's my birthday so I have invited some friends over.

Not sure how people can deal with years of schooling when I can barely get through the week without wanting to throw things. How is it not Friday yet?

Now that the city seems to actually be back to "normal," allow me to be a total basic bitch for a second and ask if anyone wants to go find an orchard this weekend and pick some apples or something? Though I mostly just want to stuff myself on apple cider donuts, tbh.

Happy Hatch Day to the Best Kiddo Around! 💘💘💘💘

Everyone feel free to get as mushy as me at the newest adult on Beale Street!!

(Edited to Add: did you really think I'd let this day pass unremarked? You're funny, girl.)

[Filtered to Kamala]

So we have birthdays coming up. And Dad is pestering about what I want to do for it and honestly I am tired and don't wanna come up with things.

What would you think about joint birthday party for two awesome turning-adults?

September just feel really, really long to anyone else?

The tropical fruit has fallen. The age of the gourd has begun.

Which is, to say, IT'S PUMPKIN SEASON!!!! Okay I'm a couple of weeks early I guess but all the big name bakeries are at it already and a girl has to keep up!

Other favorites? Drop your most autumn requests here!

At this point it feels like tradition for me to mark the start of the school year, so...

Happy First Day, Mission High!

And happy relative start dates to all the college and middle schoolers!

Now to wait (im)patiently for the end of September. (When are you joining me, Lydia?? Early admission, y/n?)

Promised road trip over Labor Day Weekend?

[FILTERED TO NON-AFFECTED]

Check in, please.

I think those of us who haven't been ourselves the last two weeks seem to be back to normal, but it may still be continuing? I'm a bit confused on that front.

So. Uh. My bad?

I think I need some help. Like a lot of help. Like I have no idea why a spell that was supposed to reverse the age on a loaf of bread within the diagram instead reversed the age of random people in the building and I definitely made it worse trying to fix it. Is anyone good at magical troubleshooting?

The catch is that nobody but me can read the spells, Arra enchanted the laptop so it just looks like a game of spider solitaire to anyone looking at the screen but me. So... yeah.

So the thing is there was this dog and he's okay and got away, but my arm's busted and it's making it hard to think or figure out how to get back. I ran for a while, so I think I'm still near or in Tenderloin.

Got a lotta offers for help when I poked my head up before.

Kinda hoping that's still the case.

I know you can read this because I know you're too smart not to want to know what's going on.

You don't know us, I know you have no reason to trust us. But a lot of people here care a lot about you and if you could just give a yes or no on if you're safe and eating okay and taking care of yourself, that would go a long way to making several of us feel better.

Or you could completely ignore this. That's fine, too.

So, life doesn't always pause when crazy things start to happen, and my status for Berkeley changed to "Accepted." Yay!??? I'll be enrolling in the College of Letters & Sciences as an undeclared student until something clicks.

[Cassie, Scott L., and Hope]
None of your names are on Agent Coulson's list, but we also haven't really checked in, so maybe let's do that?

I'm still 17, and I will be for the next 11-ish weeks.
[end]

[Loki, Lila, Lestat]
I saw Sylvie, but I haven't seen anyone else.

Is everyone okay? Do you need anything?
[end]

[Young Avengers does not include de-aged Avengers]
This is so weird.

Are you all still the right age?!

...sorry for the double DMs if you got others. At least this one's a group?

[Voice message]

"Apparently finding myself in a strange new world with a gunshot wound means having a lot of new friends, very quickly. I would say I'm going mad, but I know I'm not, despite evidence to the contrary.

I was given the rundown of where I am and when I am, and I was told there might be some people here that I know? This gāisǐ de gǔlǎo zhuāngzhì is-"

[End voice message]

If you have time today, and you see my very handsome husband, please make sure that you wish him a very, very happy birthday.

Because he deserves it for putting up with me all year.

Well, if I'm not ready now, I'm never going to be. And it makes sense to do this before classes start so I can get a better feel for the time constraints.

With that said...

ON TARGET TREATS WILL BE HAVING ITS GRAND OPENING ON FRIDAY, JUNE 27TH!

I'll be open 3 days a week, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday but additional days will be determined as needed. For now anyway! There'll be a rotating menu of baked goods and a set menu of drinks to choose from, weekly specials on our Instagram. Currently parked at [address] though I've been talking to some vendors about some really cool rally and festival type places that I might look jnto if success justifies it?? We'll see!

I'd LOVE to see you guys come out, all displaced individuals get a free 3 pack of cookies with any purchase.

See you there!

Been a while since people left like this, huh?

[Dr. Strange]

If you leave, I'm living by myself. Period.
