Second Chances: the Network

Это глупо.

I want a refund on this trip.

I know, I know, don't get out in all this unless you have to, but I had to go to a doctor's appointment and I'm not gonna lie, it is pretty terrible.

On the other hand, it's nice to have someone to come home to now. No offense, Flynn, but it's just not the same coming home to a roommate as it is coming home to a girlfriend.

Now excuse me, I have to put on fifty layers before I leave the doctor's office...

Do we need anything from the store while I'm already out?

I know we have bigger problems and this is a random statement but

It's weird when you hear two people arguing (Jason and Yelena. It's Jason and Yelena) and they switch languages mid-sentence. Multiple times. And it's weirder when you can follow the argument.

Which brings me to my point and I know it's been asked before but I'm asking again:

Other than English, what languages do you speak? I'm only claiming fluency in 12. Yes, I realize that's a brag. But I blame Bruce.

I guess it's a good thing I'm used to cold New York winters.

How are you holding up in this weather? You need anything, you let me know, yeah?

High beams really don’t do much in this freezing fog, the light just bounces back at you. Be careful if you’re driving today.

Needless to say the redhead stayed tucked away in her parking spot. If the roads ice over, myself and the Ninja will be tiptoeing home.

I'm officially signed up for college classes at San Francisco State for the spring semester. I wasn't even sure if I was going to continue with college here, but hey, I might as well, right?

I'm not sure if I'm going to continue with the business route here, so I'm undeclared for now. Though I am going to see if there's an archery team. I also signed up to learn ASL. Never hurts to pick up new skills, right?

So, I'm thinking we should have a family dinner soon. A chance for Daisy to get to know everyone. Natasha, you can bring your 'dino guy' too if you want.

[Daisy]

You're game for family dinner, right?

This is a surprise. I don't like surprises that put me in strange places. They make me stabby.

The suits said my people are here.

Kind of a random question, but is anyone good at woodwork? Or good with trees in general?

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.

I understand that the last month or two has been... well a lot. I just wanted to check in on everyone to see how you all were. Is anyone physically injured? Is anyone alone who wants some company? No. I am not propositioning all of the building, but I am checking in.

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.

Ran into a stranger in a bar last night who was awful chatty. I couldn't put a pin in it but there was something strange about the whole thing. Mostly because who thinks I look like the kind of guy who wants to have a heart to heart over my beer?

I was talking to Hardison about it and he IDed him just because we were curious. Nothing fishy about the guy, not on any list anywhere, but he's pretty far from home to be having a drink by himself.

Maybe I'm being paranoid, but maybe keep an eye out anyway.

We were meant to get back into the city tonight but there's a roadblock? Does anyone know anything about this?

There was meant to be a detour but it's blocked too.

UGH


this is not the 1940s and it is not okay to be creepy dude bros at the gas station staring down a girl and her cute ass squirrels while they try to fill up their jeep and get some snacks.

The squirrels are probably cleaner than those gunky beards.

This is the end of my PSA.

Since we've had a few new arrivals, I figured it'd be worth it for me to tell folks what I do here. I run a a bit of a consulting firm, that draws on the talents of many of our residents. Consider it an unofficial loose network of superheroes, do-gooders, and vigilantes.

We keep tabs on local chatter from law enforcement and the like and help out where possible, doing what we can to help get clean up the city and make it safer.

If you have skills that you think could be useful or want to help out, feel free to let me know.

I can't say this is what I was expecting today.

Apparently, I'm going to be here for awhile, so I might as well introduce myself. My name is Wanda Maximoff. I was told that this world is very similar to my own, and that there are people here who might know me.

[Filtered to Vision and Tommy Maximoff]

...I was told that you both are here.

I know y'all just heard from me, and normally, you know, I sorta just lurk, watch, read your very public conversations (some of y'all are nasty (good for you)).

But today is a very special day, and this painting might not live very long, so I need to share with you Old Nate's wall buddy.

I call it Beauty, Grace, Punch You in the Face.

Happy birthday, big guy! Everyone tell Eliot happy birthday when you see him! Sing, too, if you feel like it. He loves that.
