Second Chances: the Network

Thank god for the movers. I'm not the strong brother, though my husband does look hot when he lifts the boxes to stack them for me.

If anyone needs any over the top design suggestions, let me know!


[Lila, Ben & Molly]

If you guys want to look for new stuff for your room, let me know. I love a good shopping trip.

There are SOME perks to your family occasionally up and disappearing on you and then coming back.

Klaus will always be older than me now. Being the little sister is great! Now if the others were here...

(Very sorry for the tone deafness to people who are hurting and all the housing uncertainty, but...)

I am EIGHTEEN!

I'm in PARIS!

Suck it, Dad!

Thank you to EVERYONE who helped me get this far! In my life back home, that wasn't possible, but here it is, and I couldn't be happier in this moment than I am right now!!!

[Clint, Lila, Molly & Allison]

Hey, the Hargreeves birthday extravaganza is coming up. And while I know its all of our birthday, Ben is turning 18 and that is a pretty epic milestone. So what should we plan for him? I want this to be the best damn day he's ever had.

So, the cupcake that just randomly appeared. That's weird magic that probably shouldn't be trusted, right?

[Text to: Allison, May, Clint, Ben, Lila & Molly]

I'm back. I'm safe. I don't know if I deserve to come home right now.

OKAY SO A FEW THINGS I GOTTA SAY

1. I know I did homeschool but Im supposed to be in high school next and i should probably go to the actual high school right because like some people here still go there so it isn't like i would be totally alone again which is why bullies suck and being alone sucks but also i hear high school sucks so - VOTES??

2. NOT HAVING POWERS SUCKED. i forgot how it felt before i got them and how like not-strong i was and it is probably a moo point mute not issue kind of thought to do like what is it... weight lifting?? but also LOL can you imagine me going to a gym and outlifting all the gross boys??

3. I MET ERAGON!! JASON! now i am gonna go see who else i can find because they've gotta be like all over SF right????? CLINT MAYBE WE CAN FIND ROBIN HOOD.

Can someone come get me? [locatiom pin of a local bookshop] I'm stuck in the bathroom, and I can't keep the Horror in.

Some shelves got knocked over.

I may have hurt people.

Gonna have to ask any and everybody to keep all body parts out of the chocolate fountain. Let's all get a chance to enjoy before y'all make it nasty.

I know that last year Julia and some others sound proofed my room so that the Lucky's and I could hang out in there without worrying about the fireworks


Can someone maybe come and do that this year? They seem to start earlier every year and I would like to not be surprised.

Are we having a 4th of July party? We always have a 4th of July party. Tony needs to get us way too much food and we need to party on the roof with grilled meat and fake meat of varying types and... Party!

I don't want to be here anymore. Too many weird things keep happening. and i'm feeling pretty lonely.

I want to have a pool party with brightly colored drinks and gaudy flamingo floaties.

And little umbrellas in the drinks and little neon martini glasses.


No alcohol though.

Whose in?

This is intolerable.

Regardless, 'tis the hand I've been dealt now, isn't it.

I'm familiar enough with this infernal device to know how it works, but I've never been able to use it for myself before now. Apologies for my slowness to respond, if at all. This tiny typewriter is hardly usable.

A few things of note about me, since I was encouraged by Ms Smith to share:

My name is Edwin Paine. I was born in 1900. I died in 1916. I've been a ghost since then, and still am one. So, while I appreciate having my own space, it hardly means much without the trappings of my real home. Since 1989, I have been one half of the Dead Boy Detectives agency.

Pray tell, does this odd place have many mysteries? If so, of what variety? I'd rather not be consigned to the Hell of monotony.

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.

Hello, everyone. Please excuse me for not writing until now. I needed a few days to process everything, but I'm fine. I hope everyone else is doing well or as well as they can right now.

I know weird things are happening, but the show must go on, and my kids at school have worked hard on their Spring musical.

So, every resident of the Station has a ticket waiting for them at the high school for one of the three performances of Into the Woods this weekend--tonight, tomorrow night, or Sunday Matinee--or closing weekend in two weeks (same schedule). You don't have to let me know when you're coming. Just give your name at the door. You're on the list.

They have next weekend off for prom, which I am chaperoning (I hear you laughing from here, Carol).

[Filter to Molly]
Your seats are reserved right up front. 😉

So I woke up this morning to find my hands covered with pencil smudges and all kinds of paints, not to mention an entire sketchbook full of weird drawings I don't remember doing.

Guess I couldn't get out of this funny business unscathed.

[Station Residents 18+]

Brace yourself. Something is coming.

Apologies in advance, that's all I've got, unless one of you can interpret nonsense art.

May is in the afterlife right now. She was taken there by a poltergeist of some sort. The ghost just sort of seemed to abandon her once he grabbed her? I don't know. She has a few bumps and bruises but she's okay.

I couldn't figure out how to pull her out with me. She's not just a soul, like her body isn't here, so that complicated things a bit.

I just... This is a magic person sort of question, but if we could use my power and some magic.... We could maybe get a portal open long enough to pull her back out?

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.
