SECOND CHANCES NET

It's May's birthday and she's not back yet and I just really hate this. Everyone else is getting cool powers and shit and I just get one less aunt again.

I'm worried about May. We always meet for coffee before work, but she didn't show up this morning. Her cell is going right to voicemail.

Fig made me think, PROM DRESS SHOPPING!!!!

Who's in? It'd also be good to know at least some of us aren't at risk of all wearing the same thing.

[Ben]

Just checking in, are you too mature and cool to come to a high school prom now? I'll go solo if I have to but we both know I'd much rather have the world's best boyfriend there.

One of the shop regulars insisted that I sit and watch that reality show about a ship crew. Something about the Deck? Swabbing the Deck? I've seen plenty of reality shows because when you work the late night shift in the ER, there are times when you need something to keep you entertained.

And awake.

I went in with the assumption it was going to be some sort of Survival-esque competition show but with pirates? It was not that at all, which was a bit disappointing.

It was an actual crew maintaining an impressive yacht catering to very wealthy people. And I...may have watched two whole seasons within the last twenty-four hours. Give or take a few hours for sleeping. As much as I may tease my husband, the fact that he survives through my current obsession - anyone remember the paranormal shows? - it makes me love him more.

One of the most stressful things on TV is watching a baker's buttercream or mousse split, and there's no saving it. This is supposed to be downtime, and relaxing, but I'm tense watching a baking show.

Before you say anything, Yelena, I know I'm boring. It's fine. I'm embracing it. 😉🖤

At least I don't watch things like this and think I could do it. I'll leave the baking to the professionals.

[Private to James Rogers and Rapunzel]

Can I take you to dinner? Anywhere you'd like to go.

There's nothing wrong. I'd just like to spend time with you both.

[Private to Bucky Barnes]

Do you want to go to the drive-in this weekend?

Currently talking my family into a trip abroad this summer.

[Filter: Tony, Bruce, May, Peter, Dee, Ned]

How about a summer trip abroad this year? Beignets in Paris sound nice, don't they?

[Added later]

Well, now Peter has me sold on Costa Rica. What do you think?

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 was going to sweep my wife off for an anniversary holiday but then we decided to be visited by a homicidal maniac who I can't say I appreciate having here.

So I'm going to do that now. We're leaving Friday, Emily no wild parties, Ned don't burn the shop down.

Who do I need to talk to about opening up a rooftop bar?

>> Honey, you are not in trouble, but we need to know where you are.
>> You know you can't worry everyone like this.

It appears that Tommy has taken his dog and gone elsewhere ...

[Filtered away from Vision]


This is like super important. Dad has been acting.... weird. Not bad just... I don't know. Can Dad get computer viruses? Grampa Tony, Grampa Bruce? Can that happen?

I really appreciate the concern.

I'm fine.

The squirrels are sad. Please offer them cashews or hazelnuts if you have any.

They would appreciate it.


[Pepper, May & Bruce]

Would... it be too cowardly if I ask to hand out with Miss Pepper and the girls? I just... don't want to be in the building for a few days.

The rain gave me a migraine for days, next time I'll take that as forewarning.

[Asriel]
I hope you can see again. I need my tea pot back.

[Kitty Norville]
Don't mind me if I'm butting in, but... do you need anything?

(this is later in the evening, after epic!rescue happened)

I should have done something when he got here but I just froze like a None of you deserved any of that and I’m sorry.

Thanks for doing what you did.

[May]

I don’t think any of that about you.

[Dee]

I’m sorry. For everything.

[Alex]

I never would have just left you waiting like that

I get it if you never want to

My game is chess. Not Go. That was his game.

I don’t know why I’m telling you that but I couldn’t get it out of my head.

[ texts; Jason Todd FROM UNKNOWN NUMBER ]

» It's Kitty
» Borrowed phone. Nice person.
» Please help.

[ filtered; AWAY FROM STILES/NOGISTILES/DEE ]

took Jason's phone. am OK. Todd's taxi service. It's Kitty.

Stiles and Dee are okay. "Okay".

📍 [location linked]

Stiles = own body. Not not-him. Stiles says you have to change the host. Like a werewolf bite. I don't know if I can but maybe something else will work. Vampire, witch, IDK. and then kill him. catch him before he gets another host.

Jason is here. I'm so tired. I'm sorry.

[FILTER: Tony Stark, Bruce Banner, May Parker-Banner]

Should we take the girls to a hotel?

Hey so, I'm usually like, person number one to support the Multiverse and the varying versions and like, Peter 2 and Peter 3 are awesome don't get me wrong.

But I'm very much not okay right now and if you guys could maybe watch your back around the new guy just in case the Multiverse is not exactly on Peter Parker's side right now, that would be swell and I'd super duper appreciate it and I'm going to go look menacing on a building somewhere for a bit but like, if anyone ACTUALLY needs me, please say so thanks.

My family could use a government liason liason and some legal advice, if possible. I'm not afraid to legitimately hire one of you if we have to.

I know the vibes feel off today, but you know, in a lot of cultures rain is actually good luck!

And well, who doesn't love a movie day? Right?
