Emma Frost is gone. She was helping me with

I've been told I look a little like Captain America and that there are some of the original Avengers among us.

So please everyone pardon me as I live out a childhood fantasy.

Avengers assemble!

Thank you all for your understanding. That was the greatest thing I've ever done.

Dis ain't what Gambit was expectin' when he book a flight to New York. Supposed t' be firs' class service an' pretty ladies. Didn't say not'in' in de travel brochure 'bout talkin' dogs an' space heads.

I heard there was quite a fight just recently against undead bionic creatures that use their victims bodies as hosts? And, we're on a giant space head. With a talking ball of fur.

Must be Thursday.

Jean Grey is gone.

[posting from his hospital bed, voice a little tight with discomfort, but also a little spacey, thanks to the pain killers]

Still alive and not made of plastic. A+. Means I can ground my son from now until the end of time. Maybe beyond the end of time. We've got science-y types here. Is that possible?

Torunn, I'm going to need to borrow your sword. Don't worry. It's for a good cause.

I need a Coke, 12 vicodin, a very pretty woman with soft hands, and a long vacation after that.

Compensation for dealing with the trauma of my new nightmares is also requested.


So what happened with everyone else?

Characters: Emma Frost and Wanda Maximoff
Where/When: Long Beach, NY / June 14
Ratings/Warnings: None. Emma’s got a plan, but it’s less evil than would be expected.
Status: Complete

( Let me go on like I blister in the sun )

My thanks to those of you who put together the rescue effort. I promise you, more details will be coming as soon as I've debriefed Cosmo and the Guardians about what our next step is.

[ Guardians and Cosmo ]

I'm inbound to HQ now. I've got information information that I can draw up plans and layouts and, assuming the Troyjans and Ba-Bani are using similar designs for their holding cells, I should be able to provide you with enough tactical intelligence as to where the remaining people are being held. I didn't get names, or numbers, so I'm hoping you've been able to put together a list of the missing besides myself and Rose Tyler.

Secondarily, they're not too interested in causing harm, but I know we're operating on a rapidly closing window of time here. I'll be frank, if you need hands to spearhead the rescue effort, I will lend my skills and shield to it as best I can. If you can find anyone else more qualified with the intelligence I'm providing, I'd prefer it. Between fighting with the Hulk and our captors, I'd frankly like at least a day to rest.

[ Alucard ]

Once our people are secure, you've got to come up with a way for me to thank you.

[ Rose Tyler ]

How're you holding up Rose? Promised you you'd get that chance to yell at me.

[ Sharon Carter {616!AU} ]

Please tell me there's whiskey left?

[Filtered to Francis Barton, Torunn, and J and James Rogers]

Are you all okay?

If you are and you're willing, I know there's some people in the marketplace who could use some help with cleanup after that fight.

(OOC: posted on the network after the fighting has stopped when Bruce finally makes his way back to Knowhere.)

One of the alien ships took Steve. He was standing right there in front of me and I couldn't do a thing about it. I'm so sorry.

For everything. For all of it. I didn't mean for any of this to happen.

[ Open Comms ]

Well this was only a matter of time.

[ The comm message is punctuated by the sound of biotic explosions ]

Anyone who's available to come help hold the docks? We lose the docks the rest of the station's going to fold like a string of dominoes. Everybody keep your heads up and focus your fire, try and funnel into bottlenecks where you can. Noncombatants try and stay clear and make sure we've got people posted at medical, the barracks, the hovel and the dojo -- the last thing we need is the enemy getting their hands on more firepower.

And where the hell is Captain Rogers? Tell me there's at least someone out there coordinating resistance efforts?

[ Space Ladies (Ryder, Jyn, Kerrigan) + Meetra and Maya ]

You ladies keep kicking some serious ass out there, and keep me updated if you need reinforcements. Since it seems we're without any kind of functional leadership out there, don't be afraid to call out orders where you need them.

[ooc: Takes place later in the evening, after the ships have stopped attacking and Hulk has Smashed and whoever was going to get hurt by him has been hurt.]

COMMS POST:

I have the Hulk contained but I am unsure how long I can hold him. He is not turning back.

(OOC: Forward/backdate this to after Jason's return from Earth. I meant to get this up sooner, but today just kind of exploded.)

[ Avengers at Large (616, AU, MCU) and the Guardians of the Galaxy ]


(Since it was pointed out that there's obviously some confusion here as to who Steve would consider an Avenger, here's a list to clarify who's under the filter:

MCU: All
Comics: All except: Jean Grey, Else Bloodstone, Cosmo)
AU: All)

I've received a package at the Docks, upon asking Doctor Banner to take a look at it, and him coming up largely with no idea, I'd appreciate some sets of eyes on this thing. Since we're seeing all manner of things show up, from a variety of different dimensions, and a lot of them seem to have specific ties to things, I thought this was the most efficient way we could get some answers as to what it is. I'll be at the docks for the next few hours, and would appreciate as many of you as you can coming to take a look and helping me figure it out.

Thank you.

(OOC: The package is The Cradle from Age of Ultron and, once this is figured out, Steve's just gonna get all stern lipped about it, thank everyone, and then casually just stare at it. He's gonna destroy it, and another one will be arriving in its place. Steve will not be happy.)

[ Delivered to Tony Stark ]

[ Gift wrapped for Tony is this present with a simple card that reads: 'Happy Birthday, Your friend, Steve'. ]

[ Jean Grey (616 ]

Hello Jean.

When I came home, there was a golden retriever in my room. It is not mine.

[ MomBobbi ]

So. On a scale of 1 to 1,000 -- if I, one hundred percent by accident blew up your training range, how mad would you be?

[ Torunn ]

Hey. Tori. I need some high flying.

[ James Rogers ]

Hey.

I take back all the fucking shit I just said about random gifts.

[James Rogers]

Did you get me something?

[ Torunn ]

I said red was your color.

[ A few minutes later ]
Whatever this fucking would-be Santa Claus bullshitcrap is, I didn't leave out cookies and I didn't want presents. What am I supposed to do with a tube of red [...] whatever this is anyway?

[Tony Stark]



I am probably not going to kill anyone.

I'm flattered, but gold bars worn on fingers are a little excessive, even for me. Or did you mean to leave me brass knuckles? Do come claim your property, dear stranger.

Does space head do coffee.

Say yes.

[STEVE]

How does one [...] dad?

[KID BARTON HAWKEYE KID BLONDIE MINI-BOBBI FRANCIS]

You wanna grab some food? My treat.
