Doors

[Alex's handwriting is small, neat print, all capital letters, not a lower case letter to be found]

The lot of you have been active on here. Every night that I come home, there's something else interesting in here to read.

Go on. Keep it up and keep me entertained.

[A note, left on his desk at his New York office. Her handwriting is neat and precise, as always. Left just before noon.]

Mr Stark,

Here is a list of phone calls that require your attention.  I've scheduled them in order of importance for your convenience.  They have all been instructed to keep things as briefly as possible.  Felicia has taken on a few projects, which will require that I spend at least half a day less here than I originally intended.  Things should continue to run smoothly, regardless.

Silver is rescheduling, find yourself a new cab for tonight, gorgeous.

[Saturday night, there's the first real indication that injuries sustained through the doors have an effect beyond them. It isn't Iron Man's altercation with Loki that breaks the news to Las Vegas residents, though. It's the burning of an older woman who claims her Alter is a resident of an obscure noir novel. She is picked up by paramedics outside Passages, in her normal form, and nearly dies the next morning from her injuries. Signs go up around Passages later that day, warning people to be careful through the Door Worlds. Medical kits also pop up in the hotel, along with a makeshift triage area on the first floor, where those with medical backgrounds can volunteer. Rules are posted in every hall, with instructions such as:

1. Supernatural beings should remain in their worlds until healed.
2. Worlds with advanced medical care should make themselves known in the journals. (Additionally, scribbled beneath this number: Keys can be shared.)
3. Heal in your Home World whenever possible.
4. BE CAREFUL!
5. Alters can carry items through the Doors. Dispose of weapons appropriately.

Despite all this concern, however, the woman does not die from her injuries. She is moved to another hospital later that evening, and her ramblings are discounted as madness.]

[From 'Spider-Man']

Hey man, are you raising horrible monsters from the dead? I couldn't hear you shouting 'It's alive' in Manhattan from Queens, but that sure was what it looked like was going on at your place.
