Anyone else starting to feel like we're in a little over our heads here? I've dealt with weird things but we're kind of on the edge of that now.

Okay, we've been over that edge for a while.

	A little bit sometimes, yeah. Like, I've dealt with some pretty intense things back home, but this is almost on a whole different level. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Yeah, exactly the same here. I thought my life was exciting till dinosaurs and galaxy wide migraines started. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah. I'm going to school to be a professional hero back home. My class and I have gone through some pretty rough things, but nothing like this. The villains we've come across back home feel so non threatening compared to this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm wondering what other potential threats are lurking out there that they haven't told us about. (Reply to this) (Thread)

So far I've read about this Thanos guy and apparently magical stones that either wander off or get destroyed and try to blind us all. And I know they're working on controlling what the portal sends through.

From what I've gathered, though, all of the people from here don't always work together so what is it they're fighting when they're not? Is it something we need to be concerned about?

	From my perspective it's less are we in over our head, or are they. Literally a day after a head-of-state arrives to try and assert some control over the Avengers, a planet-wide psychic even occurs. If our hosts are responsible for this in any way... they may have just made the President's case for her. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	lafemmerouge 2021-07-12 07:47 pm UTC (link)
	So you don't think we can trust them? It's hard. They've bent over backwards trying to make sure we all have a residence here. Without the help of King T'Challa, we would count as illegal immigrants by this country's laws. But I think not being terribly upfront about what all we're dealing with could be dangerous.

	I want to say it's just nice not being the one who has to fix everything, but it's actually really hard to just trust that they know what they're doing. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	That's way more where I stand, I think. I thought I'd be okay settling into a normal life. School, a job, that kind of thing. But I don't like just waiting for things to get better. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Over the edge is putting it mildly. Given what happened earlier this week and the research I've been doing on the history of this place? It feels like we're missing half the story. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Unfortunately, in my experience, if it isn't one thing it usually is another. We've been on the edge of this since we all arrived. And I don't think there's any way for it but through. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	lafemmerouge 2021-07-13 01:06 am UTC (link)
	That makes sense. I guess it was quiet for a while and I just sort of assumed things were going to settle down. Maybe even be something resembling normal? Doesn't look that way. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Sadly, we’re being kept in the dark about some things, so feeling out of our depth is only natural. The governments don’t trust the Avengers and heroes of this world, so they trust us even less. Our place here feels fragile at best. (Reply to this) (Thread)

They don't trust any of them? That seems problematic at best. I guess if I was in a seat of power and had someone who could literally pick me up and remove me from said seat, I might have concerns. But they seem to be set on protecting people. Why isn't that more important?

I do wonder what they would have done with us if King T'Challa hadn't claimed us as citizens.

Except, we really aren't being all that kept in the dark? Tony's made it pretty clear at multiple meetings that he's pretty opening about everything that's happened, and has made an active effort to include those of that have brought here by the portals.

The government doesn't trust what's going on. The Avengers have been open about everything that's been going on, with the Stones, and the Sokovian Accords. There is a difference.

People are scared, but the Avengers have been doing everything in our power to try and put us at ease.

	I've been trying to catch up on everything since I got here. It actually doesn't look as bad as where I come from. There was a massive data leak in 2014 that I'm still sorting through but it gives a lot of information about this timeline up until then. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	lafemmerouge 2021-07-13 11:37 pm UTC (link)
	I found some of those files recently. There's some dark stuff in there but also a lot of good. It's exhausting trying to sort it all. (Reply to this) (Parent)
