Multiverse of Madness

As most of you know it's Halloween at the end of next month and instead of just throwing on whatever movie I happen to think of at the time I'm planning ahead. I already have a massive list of options so I don't really need recommendations, but I could use a hand narrowing it all down and scheduling it so I don't have a whole week of gory shit in a row or anything. I'm aiming for a mix of genres here.

[T'Challa]
I've recently come into possession of a set of body armor from around about 2024 in our original timeline, and I have reason to suspect it might contain some form of vibranium. Is that something you'd be able to tell by having a look at it, or would Shuri be better to ask? And if it did would you want it back? Or would it depend on how it got there?

Either way I'd appreciate discretion for reasons that will be immediately obvious when(/if) you see it.

Checking in. I'm fine.

Nat and I will be back by Wednesday.

[Ivy]

I'm sorry

That wasn't

are you okay?


[Steve]

Sorry for what happened.

I'm stepping down from security when I get back. Just for a little while. I need to work on some things.


[Shuri]

I need you to do me a big favor when I get back. I need you to put me under and dig around in my head. You're probably going to want to talk to Melina about what's in there before you do.

[Sam, Clint, and Klause]

I'll explain when I get back. Sorry for disappearing.

I know that we have all had much on our minds of late and I have perhaps been preoccupied with Wakanda's concerns that I have neglected our friends here. I should be ashamed.

But I think the season is still strong enough for a braai. I will be hosting one at the Wakandan Consulate on Sunday at noon. All are invited

[Filtered to Steve Rogers]

I have been speaking with Okoye regarding our last discussion. I (or far more likely she) may have a few ideas I should wish to bounce off you, if I may have a moment of your time?

Okay, that's it.

Baseball this weekend. I'm forming teams. We need 9 players each. I already got Carol, Miles, Mantis, and the new girl signed up. Who's in?

Teams are Carol's and Steve's. Let me know who you want to play for!

The Teams So Far

I'm gonna host a baseball training Thursday afternoon. If you want to practice or want to learn the game, meet me outside by the track then.

[Steve]

Checking in.

[Nat]

I do this a lot, I know. But we need to talk when you're free.


[Sam]

Okay, maybe your girl isn't so bad.

[Peter]

You should join. Steve or Carol's team?

[scary Coven Girls]

Wanna play baseball?

The Science Team is doing their thing, and Pepper has support in the running of the company. We've got security at all four locations ensuring that we're secure. Food is coming in (thank you, Pepper) and we've got our young people continuing their education (thank you, Ororo). On site operations seem to be working smoothly for the time being.

Please report if you have any concerns. I want to hear them. I'll do whatever I can to help.

[Private: Avengers]
The idea came up to open the roster, let more people on the team. We might need all hands on deck before all of this is through. Especially if Tony is still through the portal.

Before we open it up--if we do--I want your input. What do you think?

I have been living off of sugar, coffee and spite.


I have brought a new tray of Koeksisters. It's on the table in the lab.




[T'Challa]

I have been splitting my time between the Wakandan consulate labs, and the labs at the compound. You have been awfully quiet. Should I be worried?

We’re heading back.

Everyone is accounted for and alive.

( Update )

There will be seminars held on Tuesday afternoon in conference room A for those of you interested in attending school when it reopens who've never been before. High school at 2 and college at 4.

[FILTER: T'Challa, Babs]

Hello, T'Challa. Babs and I had a question regarding young Tim. She would like to be his legal guardian, but how does that work with their Wakanda citizenship? Thank you for your help as always.

I have returned to New York!

I will celebrate by taking my tea in the compound gaming area by destroying all the high scores that popped up while I was away. Feel free to come tell me all the things I missed while I was working back home.


Love,
Shuri.

I knew there would be repercussions. I only hope everyone is as safe as can be at the moment. I am with Wanda.

[Thor]

Please answer if you can.

Hmm.

Someone did not heed my warning, did they? And now, you have perhaps doomed the entire universe.

I will be returning to my collection soon. I fear the damage might have extended far into the galaxies.

The consequences of this will have repercussions. What fools you mortals are.

Whatever just happened looks like it happened worldwide. I hope everyone's okay. Looks like we have a few people down.

Please do what Martha said and schedule a scan.

We're going to look into it. Doesn't look like it came out of the portals.


[Thor and T'Challa]

What the hell did you do?!


[Pepper]

Are you okay???


[Vision and Wanda]

Are you two alright?

[Filtered to King T'Challa, King Loki, and Tony Stark]

I am not impressed with the President stopping by to threaten the refugees we have collected or my people. I do not trust her intent and believe that, if we are going to destroy the stone, now is the time to do it before your government tries to use it for their own gains. As pure as they believe their intent, they are just as power hungry and dangerous as Thanos.


I require a air ship to get to Wakanda.

[T'Challa]
Would it be too forward to ask Wakanda's thoughts on the meeting?

[Bucky Barnes]
Potential distraction: Steve's birthday is Sunday.
[/]

[Filtered against Steve Rogers]
I'd just like to remind/inform everyone that this Sunday, as well as being Independence Day, is also the birthday of my good friend Steve Rogers. That's right, Captain America was born on the same day as America itself. Sadly he hasn't been in the States for his birthday the last couple years so he's missed out on the whole fireworks, cookout, etc etc. But we're here now, and even better, this year he's turning one hundred. We've got to hash out the details but to me that sounds like prime surprise party material and I'm sure he'd love to have all his friends there, old and new.

[voice message over he comms]

I could use a little help at the Portal bay doors. Like...now would be good. Just saying.

[the sound of roaring and banging is heard in the background]

I am officially a fully licensed, registered paramedic again. Please don't take this as encouragement to get yourselves nearly killed.

[MCU guys 21+]
I could really do with some time off from being on call. Anyone for drinks while the girls are off pampering?
[/]

Looks like everyone's got a busy week planned ahead.

Sorry to be a party killer, but I was thinking, it might be a good idea to start training those who are guarding the portals to have some kind of formal training. It will help make things a little more consistent around here.

And I think Martha and Christine will appreciate it, too.

Since next week's kind of booked maybe we can do it the first week in July?

[Natasha Romanoff]

Are you going to that thing with Sharon?

[Bucky Barnes(616) Jimmy Barnes]

How's the car looking?

As there are new people on the network, I thought it would be a great time to extend a welcome to those who I have yet to speak to.

I am Okoye, Wakandan General and Head of Security for the Wakandan Consulate. While you are welcome within our walls, It is important to make yourself familiar with the laws and rules of this world.

Should you need assistance, We have left pamphlets in the lobby of the apartment.

[King T’Challa]
King Loki of Asgard seems concerned about the safety of his settlement. I have offered to spare some of our generals to train his people in some defensive skills. It would not be entirely like the training that we put our Soldiers through, but I will happily devise a course and schedule for them.

If you desire, I could extend the same training to those in the Compound, but with all the heroes, I doubt they will need it.

Also, the Security schedule is on your desk.

[Shuri]
You’re remembering to eat? Do I need to go back to having meals sent to your lab?

It seems that the past changes quicker than the future...


[Natasha Romanoff]

It is Okoye... is what they say true? The vanished are back and Thanos is gone?


[King T'Challa and Princess Shuri]

I must see you. Now.

I still think we should destroy the Mind Stone. We have it. He can't Snap half of us out of existence if he doesn't have one of them. Maybe his army is gone, but no one found him. Who knows what else he has up his sleeve?

Does he have sleeves?

T'CHALLA:

It is getting crowded here. I've been jumping back and forth between my lab and the portals. There must be an easier way. Mag-lev trains between the embassy and the compound.

Do not be threatened by the spaceship that has passed over New York today. It is a ship of Asgardian refugees and until we have a safe building for them to live in, they will remain on the Statesmen.

I will be flying myself back and forth.

I am, meanwhile, very glad to be back on Midgard.

Hello, all. Will you please let me know if you are experiencing any side effects from the portals? I.E. weakened magic, etc. After talking to Stephen, we would like to see if there are any patterns.

Thank you.

[Written after the Space team discovers the Statesman, from the Statesman]

[Space Team]

Thank you for helping me find my people. They are uneasy, having been aimless for some time without Loki or myself to guide them to Midgard. I believe it is best for my people if I stay with them, and help them relocate to our home.

This is where our paths will end for now.

[Loki]

Will you be returning to Midgard with me and our people, or will you be continuing on to knowhere?

[Tony, Pepper, Steve, T'Challa, Banner, Natasha]

I am bringing my people to settle on midgard. In my universe, we settle in Norway, and unless there is reason not to, I will move forward with that as I had before. Though, King T'Challa, I may need your help if Ross comes to my borders.

Yesterday sucked.

I'm setting up in the hanger with anyone who wants to join me to sort out this mess.

I'm going to ask anyone who isn't helping us figure out the portal situation to stay away for now. Not that I don't love seeing your faces, but the fewer distractions the better.

If you need anything, talk to Pepper or Happy.

In the meantime, it looks like T'Challa's plan worked. I got word today that those who've come through the portals now have refugee status. Congrats on your Wakandan citizenship.

For now, the government has promised to back off as long as I share data.

That's it. Stark out.

So I'm utterly new to this whole "aliens", "superheroes", "space" world, but can someone please explain Wakanda to me?

I'm weighing my options on staying there for a bit.

I know it's a country. I've done my research there. But what is their interest here? No offense to His Majesty or anyone else. I'm merely curious.

Update: We've made it to Xandar and we have an appointment to meet with Nova Prime tomorrow regarding the stone.

We weren't exactly welcome.

There was no sign of Thanos in the wreckage, but Nebula accounted for most of his commanders. Some of the bodies couldn't be identified.

We'll update you when we know more. After this, we're going to see if we can find the Statesman.

Hope things are going well back home. It's good to see Stark and T'Challa expanding things. Maybe it won't be so cramped when we get back.



[Monica]

You holding up?

How's your mom?

Big announcement coming. Huge

...

Okay, I'll spill. Looks like we're getting an expansion in the next week or two. Took a while to make t official, but thanks to T'Challa and the Wakandans you all should be able to take a breath away from each other soon.

We're opening up temporary housing nearby in the local town. You'll still have to lay low, but there will be more freedom and less chaos.

Please now direct all questions to your Wakandan representatives: King T'Challa and Princess Shuri.

Also, let us know if you're interested in moving out there.

Please move out there

[Filtered to Shuri]

I need your counsel on a matter concerning the mind stone.

I apologise for the disturbance this afternoon.

Why do I feel like if it isn't one kind of disaster it's another?

I just wanted to check in and make sure everyone was okay after this weekend. Now that we've had some time to recover and all that. Also, sorry for those that arrived in the middle of that fiasco. We normally don't have super-villains invading this side of the portal.

[Dick Greyson]

I wanted to say I'm impressed with how you handled that Riddler guy. Not bad.



[Barbara Gordon]

How are you recovering?


[Avengers]

I agree with everyone that we need to do something about this if we can.

But Strange is right. We need a solid plan and a ship.

It's clear that we might need to split into teams: people to concentrate on Thanos, some to focus on keeping the stones safe on Earth, and maybe a second line of defense in case he somehow ends up here before we can stop him.

I think it would be better if we met face-to-face to talk and figure this out. Sooner the better. Wednesday?


[Leia Organa]

Sorry about the really awkward introduction.

This whole thing's been weird.

Hi Everyone,

I've attached a duty schedule for those who have volunteered to keep watch over the portals. This way, it's not all on Tony and the others.

For now, this is a rough list while we figure out what could come through. Things can always change down the line.

Let me know if you have any questions.

So, we lost a few people if you all don't already know. Natasha Romanoff, Eddie Diaz, Sam Winchester, and Grace Ryder went missing. Not sure what happened, trying to figure it out.

We know there was a surge from the portals. They were all in different parts of the facility. One second they were here, the next they're not.

Currently, the theory is this is a similar event to what brought them here in the first place. This means, hopefully, they're back home...

Except Natasha is..

So I'm taking the weekend off. Darcy's in charge of portal things. Pepper's still around for updates, I think.

If it's an emergency, Pepper knows how to reach me.

[Babs]

Don't think I didn't notice the setup, by the way. Nice. But sneaky.

[T'Challa, Steve, and Natasha (added later)]

We're gonna need a bigger boat. I was thinking we could meet this weekend to talk about it? At this rate, I don't know if we can rely on fixing this anytime soon.

Oh, and uh, Steve mentioned fessing up to the government about what we have. But I don't want to do that without some kind of protection for our side.

Greetings new friends.

I am T'Challa, an associate of those who are housing you. I imagine I am not the first to welcome you to this dimension, nor will I likely be the last (nor smoothest) to do so. I had wished to introduce myself as several of my countrymen and I will be in the area in coming weeks to also investigate these portals. Should we see one another around the Avengers Compound at which I have been informed you are currently residing, feel free to approach and say hello.

I truly look forward to what acquaintances may be gained going forward and would happy to lend Wakanda's friendship to your new settlement.

Tag dump, please ignore
