[The address, recorded on dozens of handhelds and cellphones, permeates across social media and social conscience alike; soundbytes, gifs, even full tumblr pages are dedicated to it. Captain America, in his full patriotic regalia of red, white, and blue, speaks before a crowd in Times Square where protesters have gathered to speak out about the decimation of the City and the need for support for the people, not government subsidiaries. Some have come, signs in hand (the word mutant bold upon them), to protest the lack of people being held accountable for the destruction of beloved spaces—Central Park, the World Trade Center, and so on.

He stands not above the protestors, but on level with them.]

( The truth doesn't change with circumstance. )

[Delivery to Steve Rogers]

[A very expensive bottle of Jameson Rarest Vintage Reserve complete with ridiculous curly ribbons around the neck of the bottle and a note attached]

Captain Rogers -

You'll have to show me that turn around and leave move.

You did well, though I know it might not feel like it. It all makes a difference. Thank you for all of you've done. As frustrating as it must have been, thank you. Sincerely.

Cheers,

Doctor Xavier [ha.ha.ha]

[Avengers+, - Clint B.]

I owe you all an apology. More than that. I'm [...] so fu sorry, for every person that I hurt. [...] I guess I'm officially turning myself in.

[Carol D]

You okay?

[Jessica D]

I don't expect you to forgive me anytime soon.

[Wanda M]

They're dead.

[ETA: Steve R]

I might need your help.

[The interview with Captain Steve Rogers airs on prime-time cable affiliates throughout Marvel. It's picked up on social media sites, transcribed on blogs, and cut for gifs and vines within the hour. By morning, the buzz is everywhere.]

( An Interview. )

[After this.]

[Phone call to Sharon C]
Ring, ring!

ETA: [After this confusing conversation.]

[Locked to Avengers+, sans Billy K, Wanda M, Natasha R, & Clint B]
Billy has asked for help. He'll be coming to the Tower for a bit.

Can anyone tell me what House of M means?

[Locked to Charles X]
[Post-delivery.]

This is a bad excuse for a thank you note, but do you know anything about Billy Kaplan?

[Text to Tony S from an unknown #, backdated to before this]
I need to borrow one of your satellites for the night. -NR


[Text to the phone she sent Bucky B]
There is a large number of weapons and supplies at [address] that should be moved to a safer location.

[Call to Carol]

Ring, ring.


[Locked to Peter P]

You okay?

[Morning after this. Morning coffee-and-news-reports time]

Ring.

[CALL: TESS/CAL]
Ring, ring.


[LOCKED: TESS/SHANE]
Where are you? I hear everyone's meeting at Russ' place but didn't see your name.

[Tony S]

[From the living room, after this and this]

How do you feel about completely illegal and un-SHIELD approved?

[Jack C]

Jack, I hear your city, the one you were trying to sell me on, is getting trashed. You okay out there?

[Ex-Woodbury: Amelia, Clem, Shane, Joey]

Any of you caught up in the Gotham/Marvel mess?

[Sam/Neil/Louis]

Check-in.

[After the new from Dr. Banner, Claire had thought things over for a long time. Finally, she made her decision: she'd stay, and try to help. If she could. But she'd have to be careful. And if she wasn't, well...someone else should know what was going on. She stood outside his study for ten full minutes before knocking softly. In her hand was a napkin holding two cookies she'd baked earlier that morning; baking, when not for school, had always been something she did when worried, when she needed to think. She got that from her adoptive mom. After she knocked, Claire called through the door softly, despite the fact that he likely knew exactly who it was.]

Professor - Charles? It's Claire. I...need to talk to you.

[Bruce W]
[She hasn't heard from him in a while, and with everything going on...]

Bruce?


[Public]
[The shelter she's been staying in has been attacked again, and it's no longer fit for anyone to stay there. She and several other women are hiding at the moment.]

[...] Has everyone in Gotham been able to find safe places?


["Gray"]
[Still Anon.]

Last time we spoke, you seemed to know the people we were inhabiting at the mall. Are you [...] in Gotham?

Who: The Cat
What: Narrative
Where: City Hall
When: Recentlyish
Warnings/Rating: Nope

( The Cat had no idea what day it was. And the Cat had no idea what time it was. And the Cat didn't care. )

[Public]

[After watching this.] If they decide to bring Sentinels to this place, I'm seriously considering door hopping.

[Teen Wolf]

Hey, uh. I found something that belongs to you guys. Want to pick him up?

Who: Louis D and Russ C
What: Bailing out from a strip-club/Russ is a messy drunk
When: Waaay backdated. Pre-Crane. Post the latest blow-up with Marina.
Where: A titty-bar in the not-so-nice end of Gotham.
Warnings: Brief mention of surrounds?

( Everyone had their days where they needed someone to pick them up, get them on their feet, and get them clear of a situation with something resembling their dignity intact )

[Still from the quarantine center, just post anti-toxin.]

[Charles X]

Charles Xavier. [...] I heard your name in a dream I had.

[Steve R]

[Someone has been watching the news.]

You did right by people when they needed someone who could speak for them and actually be listened to. They won't forget that. I won't.

[Evie S]

Hey.

[Luke H]

[...] How angry is she?

[Batfam+ And Justice League (sans eddie and bruce just in case again)]

Status?

How are our search parties?

Babs, is there a single neighborhood secure or close to it? We're going to need to take this bit by bit and in a concentrated effort with more than just our fists.

Is Superman here? Or did I imagine that?

[Stephanie]

How are you holding up? How is Eddie holding up? Would it help if I tried to talk to him, or make matters worse?

[Bruce W (just in case)]

Bruce?

If I had known that a few of you were going to spend so much time beating people up, I would have hired you instead. Do everyone a favor though and leave them dead. Leaving them with a permanently injured will only tie up more resources that you don't have.

I hope you enjoyed your trip to City Hall.

ETA: [Locked to Siren]

Are you enjoying yourself, Countess?

[Comm to: Batfam+/Justice League (again) - sans Bruce and Eddie (still sorry guys.)]

[Dickie mad. So mad.] Where is Stephanie?

[Comm to Donna T]

Need you to do something for me. Right now.
