Multiverse of Madness

...Never thought I'd see this place again.

[Filtered To Barbara Gordon, Dick Grayson, Cassie Sandsmark, and Cissie King-Jones]

Have any of you seen Tim? I know he said the other day he wanted to get out of here for awhile, but I went to call him again, and he's not answering his phone, and he's not in the usual spaces.

Normally, I'd just shrug it off, but Tim is prone to disappearing and shutting people out when he's upset about something, and I know Miles coming back with no memories of him unnerved him, so I think it makes sense that I'm worried.

[John Walker]

Hey boss, so this isn't something I'd usually ask for, but would it be possible to get some time off in the next week? My kid brother, who I'm legal guardian to, is going through something and he needs a time out away from here. He's sixteen so shouldn't be going anywhere alone. I know this is short notice, so I completely understand if it isn't possible.

[Babs]

Tim needs time away from here. Not sure if I can get leave to go with him. Would you be able to? I don't want him to go AWOL again.

[21+ Friends]

So, I need to get shitfaced, no questions are being taken at this time.

So. I need to get out of here for a bit. Who wants to go some place that isn't here?

There are some days, I really don't want to get up for PT. It's been months and I don't feel like I'm making any progress. Not that I'd actually... feel it if I was. Years of disuse isn't going to rebuild overnight...

[Parker]
So you snuck into the ducts, managed to get passed my security system; got into my apartment and then out again, all without leaving a trace.

[Alec Hardison, Daisy Johnson]
Mr. Hardison, we have a proposition for you.

[Cassie, Cissie, Steph, Dick, Tim, Daisy]
Just as a heads up, I've hired Parker to periodically try to break into the apartment to test my security measures. I've advised her to do this when no one's home, but if you see a blonde breaking in, it's her. She's reporting back to me.

I managed to get my car and some of my things here. I found my bankcards and ID and let my family know I can't work for a while. I'm not really sure what comes next.

My name is Maya. I'm Deaf and non-verbal but I can lipread. The text-to-speech app I used to use as a last resort doesn't exist yet so I'll have to find another one that's IPA programmable but I won't be able to talk to you when my hands aren't free.

This place's lack of a bar is disappointing.

It would seem that the Powers That Be deemed me fit to have my license back, and to practice psychiatry again (thanks for that present, Babsy!). So, I have official office hours, and a nice new comfy office right down the hall from Sam. Hours are Monday through Friday, 9 to 5. I'm gonna take the weekend off, but I'll be on call if there's an emergency.

I've also turned one of the training areas into a rage room, because not everyone feels comfortable talking things out. Sometimes, you just gotta break shit.

My name is Kaldur'ahm, and I am a son of both Atlantis and the surface world. I am not from your universe, and was unaware of anyone like me outside of my teammates. They tell us there is another force out in the world, that it has a dark purpose, but I cannot believe the man I know—the man I met in Norlisk—would ever ally himself with evil willingly.

If your security is anything like ours, I doubt this message will go through, but I must know:

Who are you, and what is your purpose here on this world?

So… how easy is it to get one of those special net doohickeys? Mine … broke. While I do like having a proper keyboard to write on, carrying a laptop around isn’t as convenient as one of those Star Trek looking PADD things.

Do I need to go ask Mr Stark personally?

[Bats and an Archer]
Also, one of those shady masked guys knew who I was. Which is pretty impossible right? Seeing as they didn’t come though our portal?

You saw Clint. Meet at the light house. We're going in. I'll be getting one of the larger jets.

Dunno if anyone's seen Clark's post, but I'm organizing a search and rescue op. Any help would be appreciated, even unofficially, since the silence from the Powers-That-Be seem to indicate this won't be an Avengers Matter.

[Secret Squad]

We're mobilizing out of the Lighthouse. I know we've only been training for a short while, but this is what it's all for.

[Team Science/Mainframe]

Any ideas what we might be walking into?

I miss dating. I haven't been on one since I showed up here. Granted, dating is a little difficult when you don't know if you or the person you're seeing is going to be sent back by the portal or not.

Still, it would at least be nice to get out a little bit more. I feel like I've become a bit of a homebody. Which honestly, really isn't like me.

God, the idea of making a Tinder profile is just insane. What would I even put? "19, loves waffles, superheroing, may or may not get randomly sent home by a portal with a mind of its own"?

Maybe I won't date. There's nothing wrong with staying home with Netflix and ice cream.

You know, I'd be more amused if I didn't have a kingdom to run back home.

I'm Arthur Curry, and it looks like I'm going to be stuck here awhile. I heard there's a place near the ocean I can stay, New Asgard? That's definitely preferred to living in an apartment.

Where's a guy gotta go to get a decent canelé around here?

Mondays can kiss my ass. Four tests down...eight to go. Gonna finish this GED by December so I can be done.

[filter encrypted: Torunn, Peter, Courtney, Scott, Steph, Viv]

So.

This is probably incredibly random as I've not been the greatest at. being social; but I'm told I should change that. And, I don't know if you all have noticed but it seems to me that there's been a need for us to form our own team since we appear to not be allowed to do many things anymore here, I am thinking it's time we tried our own hand at this team thing. Show the adults a thing or two. But to start it off, we should probably all do something together. I propose A) Rage Room, B) Arcade trip, C) your guys choice those are just suggestions.

I'll pay. Came into some random funds recently.

[Bats filter]
Do we have thanksgiving plans? are we doing it?

[Hawkguy, Daisy - Encrypted]
So the comms equipment has been taken care of. We've got an off-site supplier selling to a shell inside a shell inside a shell inside a shell of a company that looks like a manufacturer of kid's electronic toys. Best way to not pull any red flags: Buy in bulk. Equipment wise, we're gonna need to see what people need in the training phase, but that's doable.

What else was on the list?

As it happens it looks like I've got a few restless Bats on my hands, so the timing of all this finalizing is almost too perfect.

...So, Peter and I might have started talking about forming a team here, similar to the titans.

Time to seriously think about costumes for Halloween. I was considering Catwoman, but it'd be just my luck that Selina she would come through the portal and scratch my eyes out.

[Circus Bro]
That team you mentioned way back when I was my other self? I'm in.

[Tim, Steph, Babs]
I'm going to patrol the city tonight, seems like the NYPD could use all the help they can get at the moment.

[Bats]
What would you guys say if I decided I didn't want to work in the labs or with the portal anymore?

[Steph]
Remember when I talked to you about moving to a bigger place? It's ready. I'm going to announce it to the others. Pack your bag.

[Tim]
I'm so sorry about Miles, Tim.

( [Bats (little Bruce included) and Daisy] )

I've been looking into something to do to keep myself busy and I was thinking perhaps an after school job. Any suggestions?

[OOC: TRIGGER WARNING, POTENIAL MENTIONS OF TORTURE / VIOLENCE IN THE COMMENTS.]

Has anyone gotten anything from home that they really didn't think they'd ever see again? And when they got it, did it set it off all sorts of memories that you thought you'd repressed?

Just me?

Cool.

[Bat Family]

I got my Robin costume.

So...yeah, not sure how to process that right now. Considering what happened the last time I wore it.

Oh wow! This is a really swanky place you've got here! Really high-tech, I don't think I've ever seen something like this before!

Thanks for the welcome, Dere-Bear, Johnny! Remember what I said about loosening up. You don't have to be so grumpy and stiff all time! Have some fun. Go out, get drunk, break someone's kneecaps, get laid, whatever floats your boat.

Harley Quinn, good to meetcha!

Anyone know where I can get a good egg and cheese sandwich?

Thinking of having a movie marathon, but I can't decide what movie series I want to watch. Any suggestions?

[Babs]

So...it's your birthday?

[Miles]
You're welcome.


[Steph and Dick]
Babs birthday is tomorrow, I thought I'd try to make a cake but turns out I have no idea where anything in a kitchen is..and this is probably part A of why I've been banned from most. Are either of you good at baking?

...Birthday dinner under guise of regular dinner or is that too obvious? idk..



[Daisy, Bruce W.]
mind our possible chaos, but it is Babs birthday tomorrow and she deserves all the things...sooo could you come? Might try family dinner, might be another thing. Idk yet, but something will happen.

[Babs]
What are you doing tomorrow?

Hi. Yes, it's me. I'm back. I will explain things later, including why there's a large mansion suddenly next to an unzoned space in New Asgard.

Right now, I need rest. And a shower. And a sandwich.



[Avengers, Friends, and Team Science]

I'm back. Celebrations for later, we need to talk now. Meet me in the science lab. Someone order pizza.



[Pepper and Morgan]

I love you both. I need to talk to the science team then I'm coming to find you- or you can just get down here and we can talk afterward.

You know what, just come by the labs. I want to see you both, okay?


[Rhodey]

I'm back. Drinks. We're doing drinks later.

[Filtered to Carol Danvers, Natasha Romanoff]

I'm back in town. Well at least the greater metro-area.

I have to go back up this weekend.

[Filtered to Barbara Gordon]

What do I owe you for the ticket?

..Rest turned into a 14 hour dead sleep. Guess I was more tired than I realized. Sorry.

I made new cold brew in the kitchen, didn't realize I haven't done that in a while.

[Miles]

...Want to go break stuff? These are apparently a thing now. Not going to lie it sounds pretty fun about now.

... I have been informed that I need a hobby. And swords dont count.


[Frigga & Loki]
Would it be easier for you if I chose to stay elsewhere?

[Kid Loki]
Are you settled well? Do you need anything?


[Thor & Torunn]
Thank you.

( You have received a collect call from Alburg Springs–Clarenceville Border Crossing from KYLE GORDON. Do you accept the charges? )

[Dick]
Help? Seriously how did Alfred do this? And there were sometimes seven of us!

Firmware updates issued to PONG. Regularly scheduled maintenance complete. Checks passed. Backups online. Everything is properly working as it should.

I don't have anything else to say

[Tim, Babs, Steph and Bruce🦇]
A broody birdie told me my family was here.

I’m sorry I […] vanished on you. But I’m back again. Although, I have no recollection of being here. But I’ve checked back over the network and can see I have. For months even. Which is insane because I’ve been through a rough few months at home too. Also it’s like, the past, here. So I probably am a walking spoiler right now.
[/filter]

Hello everyone, again. Apologies for making you look for me, or other me. Confusingly, I’m back. Not that I remember being here before.

...Has anyone seen Dick?

Went to go home finally to pick up some things and he never showed up. I thought he just went out but... His rats weren't fed this morning when I checked on them either (they are now). He always takes care of them. there was no PONG alert.

I need a believable passport.

Thinking about starting up some archery classes, if anyone might be interested. (Never fear, assorted moms and dads and uncles and aunts and all -types therein, I'll use foam everything.)

Holy alternate universe, Batman!

Yeah, I am definitely going to need an extension on that essay for history now.

Tim? Babs? Dick? They told me you were all here.

Ned's gone.

Well damn, so much for my favorite coffee cup. I broke it. Careful in the kitchen, sweeping it up.

Before rumors start to fly, yes we're planning for something on Saturday. Kind of a surprise. If things go well, it could help us get people who want to go home, home. Fingers crossed.

And if you don't want to go home, you're welcome to stay. But I assume many of you would prefer not to randomly be sucked back into the portal against your will.


[Pepper Stark]

I love you.

Also, I have a question.



[Morgan Stark]

I love you.

And I have a favor to ask.



[Rhodey]

I'm about to be really stupid.


[Portal Team and OG Avengers]

The plan is for 8am Saturday. We'll send a drone in first and then an unmanned suit. If things look clear, I go first. I know we talked about Bruce or someone else, but I know the technology better than any of you and if things do go to hell, I'm the one most likely to get back.

Not saying then will. Worst case.

[Peter, Miles]
You guys doing anything tomorrow?

[Babs and Dick]
We should do dinner or something.

Thanks for the well wishes about the wedding. We love you all.

We'll invite everybody to the next one.

[Wanda]

When are you free to talk?

[Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanoff, Bruce Banner, Thor, and Clint Barton]

Family get-together this weekend?

The movie nights and community meals around here make me feel a little more welcome and a little less alone. So if you've been organizing (like you, Sam!) I want to give a big thank you. It's meant a lot.

2pm, and I'm on coffee #2. Oops.

[James, Peter P, Miles, Ned]
Miles' birthday is on the 8th, and he wants to do Coney Island. You guys good for it?..I'll drive.

[Babs, Dick]
So, I got invited to a wedding..but I have no idea what to wear?

Also Dick, check your desk. This mug is left there.

HI! SORRY! Sorry.

I think I've got this now!

Hi! I'm Cassie and I'm super sorry about the stuff in that lab area! I didn't break anything, did I? It wasn't expected! First, you're with your friends and teammates and then, BAM! You're in a different place completely!

Totally like traveling through the Zeta-tube except your portals are so pretty!

[Adults 21+]

We may get underage children without ties to adults here. Will you please let me know if you'd like to be a guardian of sorts?

[James]

I'm so sorry about Jon, honey.

[Daisy]
So.... Dinner? I'll cook.
