It's the big day! And while some people are missing, Carol Danvers is determined to see the game through and try to raise spirits. People need it, especially after everything that's been going down.

The game is in a field set up in the middle of the track just outside the facility. Carol was up the night before setting up bases, benches, and equipmentn. The diamond is laid out and the areas are well marked. People who come to see the game can sit on the grass or in folding chairs to watch. Refreshments are also being provided for players and spectators- good times all around!

The team lineups are here. I'm keeping git simple and overstacking shortstops and outfields, but we can assume people are spread around. If anyone wants to change their position, let me know!

Below, respond to each Inning comment. I'll keep the comments open and use a dice system to help determine results then write a mini-narrative for funsies. The first up to bat is Roger's team since they won the coin toss.

We can keep this open for a few days to participate if anyone just wants to have fun with it. Yay fluff!

How the DNA works:

Roll 1-4: hit

Roll 5-8: miss

Roll 9: Home Run!

Role 1-5: made a base

Role 6-8: out!

Role 9: Stolen base!

Who: OG Avengers and Portal Team
What: An experiment?
When: Saturday Morning

Rating/Warning:. S for SAD, implied character death



Even Tony couldn't believe they were doing this. He had a knot in his gut. It was the same feeling he had when Loki attacked New York and he realized he had to travel through the portal with that bomb. The feeling he had when he realized Pepper had been exposed to extremis. The feeling he had when Wanda once made him hallucinate that his friends had all died because of him.

It was a bad feeling.

But he didn't let it show. He kept it light-hearted and sarcastic, assuring the others it was going to be fine. He had to do this. They didn't realize his theory yet, and for a while, he wanted to keep it that way. But once the portal was open and staring them in the face, he knew better. They should know.

They'd already run the first few probes. No video, but the drone came back safe. The second one was a little less defined. There were ebuildings. The suit came back safe. Okay. The lack of video feeds could be because of the electronic transmission of the portal, but there was audio that worked. So that was good. He could describe to the others what he saw when he got back.

Taking a breath, fully suited up sans his helmet, he stepped forward, stopped, then turned to the others.

"So, time to come clean," he looked directly at Bruce then Darcy. "There's a reason I'm doing this. Or we have to do this. I have a theory that the people disappearing from our world are going to these other worlds. If we can trace the PONG readings, we might be able to get them back." That meant people like Happy. Peter's friends, Ned and MJ. "It means we can check on those from other worlds disappearing, too. We can make sure they're heading home. It's a theory. But this is the first step in figuring that out." They were nowhere near actually achieving that yet. "I didn't want to get people's hopes up yet. So one step at a time."

He took another breath. "Anyway, wish me luck?" He grinned and activated his helmet before turning to head through the portal.

The first step was easy enough- a sucking sensation he knew from his past trips, and then there they were. Only...this wasn't like vampire world. This was different. He was in a city- what he thought was a city. It was....destroyed. Completely destroyed. Rubble everywhere, an eery darkness in the sky. No stars. Just darkness and a light emanating from somewhere- like through dark clouds.

Through the comms, he uttered. "Uh, guys. I don't think I'm in Kansas anymore." He muttered as he stepped away from the portal to look around. "You getting visuals on this?" There was nothing transmitting in the video feed.

"There's nothing here. Well, looks like there was something-" He stepped on a street sign, looking down. It read 'Broadway'. Then, he started to recognize a few things. This had been New York.

"Shit. It's New York." He should go back. Even with no signs of life, no signs of danger, he had a bad feeling- meanwhile, the portal started to flicker. And Tony squinted up at the sky as he saw something that made him start to panic a little- a purple cloud was engulfing the sky and in the distance, it was literally sucking up the city on the horizon. What the hell?

"I'm heading back!" He turned to go but the portal flickered unstably. The readings were off the chart.

And then, the comms were cut out. And the portal closed.

There was radio silence from then on in.

( Senior's Night )

In the Lobby of the Avengers compound, Tim has begun building a massive fort...Tony, do not look at your bill this month a massive amount of pillows, fairylights, and all kinds of crap was purchased to make aesthetic forts. To get anywhere you basically gotta go through the fort, So might as well give up and use it ;)

( KARAOKE! )

I’m hungry. Ordering pizza tonight. If anyone wants extra, let me know and I’ll order a couple.

Who: Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes
What: Not bonding at all
When: late Sunday morning 11 July
Where: Some bar near the facility
Status/Warnings: Allusions to canon-typical violence but nothing big

( To seventh chances. )

( Hail to the Chief )

( PARTY TIME! )

Who: MCU guys
When: Saturday night
Where: Some bar somewhere
What: Having a break, hanging out, pretending everyone is totally cool with each other?
Warnings: Alcohol, others to be added

It might have been smarter of Sam to wait until a night when his female friends were available as well to get a break from the compound since his relationships with them are so much less complicated and fraught. But, well, he didn't feel like waiting for the next weekend, and even if none of them were working a traditional Monday to Friday it still felt weird doing something like this on a weeknight. So, here they were. In a bar, away from anyone who'd come from another world that Sam felt an obligation to remain professional around, having drinks like a functional team full of reasonable adults.

Who: Sam Wilson/OTA
When: 6:30 Sunday morning
Where: The kitchen off the common room
What: Breakfast
Warnings: Not so far

The facility was still quiet when Sam finally came in from a long run. The sun had been up for almost an hour already and he hadn't been able to stay in bed once the light started invading his room - he'd been awake long before the time his alarm usually went off, and ended up slipping quietly out of the room shortly before six, trainers in hand as he tried not to wake Dean. He felt better for the exercise, endorphins pumping, t-shirt damp around the neck with clean sweat, head clearer after the fresh air. The trouble with an early run, though, was getting out of the shower afterwards and not having anything much to do. He could have lain back down, he supposed, but he didn't think he'd be any better at not tossing and turning now than he was before. Instead he ended up in the big communal kitchen mixing up a massive bowl of pancake batter. Most people wouldn't be up to get them fresh off the griddle, but he'd found that the warmers here actually did a surprisingly decent job at keeping things edible. (Yeah, okay, so this wasn't the first time he'd done this. Maybe it was the Southern in him, but there was something satisfying about making something that would nourish people.) Once the stove heated up he was quick to develop a rhythm: pour the batter, set the bowl down, then work on chopping fruit for toppings until it was time to flip them. Soon he'd done his first full stack, moving the plate into the warmer and pulling out a new one.
