((OOC:And really, anyone I missed.))
In this current state of emergency, organization of all of our efforts is needed to combat the threat to our cities.
For those left questioning, this is what we face: The creatures we battle are known as Frost Giants, or in their own tongue, Jotun. Some of you may have heard of the Norse god Thor. The battle which occurred last month near Gotham dealt with Thor and his brother Loki, and the Jotun are from a realm near theirs, called Jotunheim. We have no idea why they’re here, but they are sentient. This may give us another avenue of ending this.
The Avengers are dividing among our cities to better defend them, and we’re asking our allies for assistance in presenting a unified force against such a powerful enemy. If you’ve received this message, you’ve been called to duty, either in your own city, or one close to you.
In order to preserve order, captains have been assigned. Please report to them if you are willing to join our efforts:
In the Gotham/Bludhaven area, Gotham will be covered by myself, and Bludhaven will be covered by Black Widow.
In Metropolis, Captain America and Hal Jordan/Green Lantern will lead.
In New York, Agent Coulson of SHIELD and Iron Man will lead.
I understand there is a new teen group in New York, and I have included them in this communication. Keep an eye out, just in case.
All communications will pass through the Oracle Network – don’t abuse it.
We are attempting to pass food and other supplies to these cities as well without them being intercepted by those who might sell them on the black market.
There are groups in Norway as we speak, attempting to solve the greater problem with the weather and our uninvited guests. You will be updated as we know more.
