It's not easy, this weight on my shoulders. I want to make my grandfather proud, show him that I don't take his sacrifices for granted. But it's difficult. Who was I kidding, thinking I could this on my own. I'm only a kid. My grandfather was the true hero. He represented everything this country aims to be. How can I fill those shoes? Man, I was fool thinking I could take this on. I bit off more than I chew, carrying this legacy.

✉ Did you know that the Avengers post online?
✉ I came across a popular network the other day.
✉ Even Captain America uses it.
✉ Do you think he knows about fanfiction?
✉ Maybe I shouldn't had written that one-shot between him and Iron Man...

Aw, it's so precious when Apple wants to get in on the smart watches game. Nice try, Cook, but we've had that market cornered for years. Here's a protip though: make the watch tell time better than iOS Maps told maps.

When: First day of school, lunchtime
What: Kamala is trying to get use to being in a new high school away from her friends and is sitting like a loner at a table by herself.

Welcome to New York City's historic Gotham Hall, a massive and beautiful event space located in the heart of Manhattan at 1356 Broadway. Gotham Hall is style meets sophistication, with brass filigree doors, marble inlaid floors, grand architecture, and a positively soaring gilded ceiling. This oval space boasts 9,980 square feet and holds a max capacity of 800 guests. Given that the MSF charity fundraiser is one of the hottest tickets in town, every one of those tickets has been bought, raffled off, stolen, or scalped.

How does your character come to attend this event, and are there any other reasons for why they are doing so?

School starts in less than a month. Can the Avengers do something about that? Because...do not want. I got my schedule and I'm pretty sure Calculus should be classified as a supervillain.

( Kate )

Can't we just...not? Like just superhero full time and skip school for the rest of forever?

( Steve )

So...say, hypothetically, I was a superhero. With superpowers. Who superheroed around with my superpowers fighting crime...

Not that I'm saying any of that.

I hope you're looking forward to pulling out your wallets to support the Maria Stark Foundation.

Sam, Tony. Tony, Sam. He's got some sick wings you want to check out/fix. We'll drop them off at your workshop, cause we're about to head back south.

[AVENGERS + PHIL + SHARON + SAM]

Thanks for keeping me apprised of the data being gathered at the HYDRA bases. You all are not only sharing info - which will keep us on track - but working together, despite our ultimately strange circumstances. Let's find out more about these psychic experiments and if Bruce has any additional information about what happened to him.

Back down on my way to FL. Bucky made contact last night and transmitted [attached]. It might prove interesting, considering what we've got from Charleston and Dothan. I promised we'd clean up his tails and gather any more intel. I'm also going to see if I can get out ahead of him, which means I need you on alert. It's time to bring him in, and doing it will probably require more than just me.


And yeah. AZ = Arnim Zola.

[SHARON]

One night in NYC. One.

[AMERICA + KATE]

Heya, ladies. Let's cut the bull.

WHO: America Chavez & Kate Bishop (or rather, Miss America & Hawkeye)
WHAT: A hostage situation in a high-rise downtown has different first responders than the police.
WHEN: July 17th
WHERE: Manhattan's Financial District
RATING: TBD

( This would be a step up from dealing with muggers and lechers in Central Park or thwarting convenience store robberies. )

The longer I live, the more I understand that the world consistently renews itself. And as much as I am in awe of her ability to survive - and thrive - in the bleakest of circumstances, I think what strikes me most today is that the world is so much larger than we'd ever thought, or even hoped. There are worlds beyond our borders; worlds within worlds within our own little sphere and somehow, we're meant to all remain centered while we focus on the most basic elements of our own lives.

Ladies and gentlemen, sometimes that isn't possible. Sometimes, in order for the good people of earth to continue dwelling in peace someone must become a mediator -- a rock, against which all the waves of the worlds can buffet themselves against. I tell you right now - and with no lack of love - that as your Avengers, the same team that rebuffed the alien attacks in New York City, we are here for you. And we will continue to be here for you, whenever you need us.

WHO: America Chavez & Kate Bishop.
WHAT: America finds herself in a new world and friendship begins.
WHEN: When America first arrived, shortly after the events of Thor 2.
WHERE: Manhattan, New York.
RATING: TBD.
STATUS: In Progress.
