[She doesn't actually go to the Ukraine - not yet. But she gets reports, enough to know the comrade followed her blinking red trail, and she pages back through the journals and makes unwritten notes about the information found there. Ultimately, and after ample consideration.]

[Group lock to The Women]
You know the problem with a boys club?

[To a private cellular line. Ring ring.]

[While she and Clint are waiting outside the Osborn facility, alerts that she set up before heading out start lighting up her line. In an effort to get the lay of the land, she has intel markers out, and one of them has something very interesting to say. It's immediately followed by something more ritualistic in nature, and she leans against her bike and her fingers fly over the keys as she breaks her way into the heavily encrypted network. From there, she traces the path backward, and then she does her best to predict future hit points.

Untraceable, the virus is tiny, elegant, and it's set to trigger every panel and console at the next pinpointed locations if someone trips her security web.]

мы сыграть игру?

[Shall we play a game, comrade?]

[ALL the good people Tony knows of. If you're not sure if you're in the "Tony's Peeps" lock, you probably are.]

What the hell is going on with this secret Osborn lab?! Why do I have a dead employee there? Everybody has TWO SECONDS to tell me where I am going and what is there before I go there myself with A LOT OF FIREPOWER to keep me company.

[After reading everything available and making mental notes on all known subjects present and notable absences, including mental notations on her former self, based on visible entries. Ultimately, her contact point doesn't require much consideration.]

[Locked to Clint B]
This seems fun.

[Text to Clint B]
Bears?

[Text to Wanda M]
How's the school?

[Public as Steve R; beneath this sketch.]

Is it 2014? No ice this time around. That's someth

[Text to Jo H]

Need a distraction.

Sparring next week?

[Here she isn't sure what to say, but the cursor blinks, and every few seconds there's a key stroke that's quickly deleted. Finally:] Were you with him?

[Filtered to the Avengers+]
It appears as though Bruce was sent home.

[Selina K]
I know we haven't spoken before, but I'm aware you two were friends and I thought you should know: Bruce Banner was sent home.


[ETA: Steve R]
It's possible Bucky was too.

I'm curious. How long has everyone been here?

[Filtered to Thor, Tony S, Bruce B, Steve R]

I've made a decision. I'm going to continue to be an Avenger, and I intend on getting to know the Avengers from the other dimension better so that I can work with them as a team.

I'd like to know which of you also intend to continue to be a part of the team. I think the time has come where it needs to be stated - and acted upon. Because if anything, the last year has proved that as a group we only appear to be able to act as a team when emergencies arise, but other than that? We're not a team. We're not what the Avengers should be. Yes, we're what Fury meant to create, but I don't believe that is how we should continue.

What I've learned from the others is that a team should be more than a group of people who work together to get things done. They should be friends. A family. And we're not.

But we could be. If we want. So I'm asking if any of you do.

[ETA: Filtered to Lady Avengers + Clint B]
I'm curious - is the Avengers Mansion locked or is there a secret knock?

[Bucky B]
How do you feel about the Balkans?

[Locked to all Avengers, past, present, future, divergent timeline, and Bucky B and Sharon C]
Happy [um] Cyber Monday. Apologies for the radio silence. Hope everyone's holidays are swell so far.

[After this]

[Natasha put her phone down after telling James the door was unlocked, then stood and walked over to it to actually unlock it. That done, she moved, barefoot, into the kitchen and pulled out a bottle of red wine, pouring two glasses. Walking over to the living room, she set them on the table and smiled as Liho jumped up onto her lap. Absently she began to pet the cat as she waited for James to join her. She didn't know how this was really going to go, but at least it seemed as they were both ready to try at the same time - and neither was currently mad at the other. That was a good sign, wasn't it?]

Hey everyone! Thanksgiving is coming up on Thursday, and we usually have a big dinner at the mansion. We plan on doing it this year too, so everyone is invited. Bring guests if you want. If you can give up a head's up on whether you want to come so we make sure to have enough, that would be great. And any dietary considerations. If you don't know until day of, just stop by, I'm sure we'll scrounge up enough. It's okay if you already have plans, of course.

[Group lock: Billy K and TJ W]

Do you two have plans for Thanksgiving?

[Locked to Erik L]

Any plans for later this week?

[Locked to Lady Avengers]

Thanksgiving?

[A reasonable hour. Ring.]

[Text to Bruce B]
-- I made an attempt alone.
-- Attachment.

[He's stared at this new item on his person for a while, and he finally caves. Too weird. Too, too weird, even for all the madmen he's seen in his life.]

I may be old, but I am not bloody senile, and I know Gotham when I'm in it.

I was supposed to be in Venice tomorrow. I'd quite fancy to be in Venice tomorrow.

[After his Veterans Day events.]

[He shares this.]

Heads up to everyone that Crane might be back. I'm not 100% sure it's him. Regardless, we shouldn't make contact, visual, written, physical.

[Locked to Bruce W]
[Also sharing.]

Just so you're aware.

[Locked to Selina K]
Did you see who posted?

Gwen.

The hell is this?
