[Locked to Sam Wilson]

Hey Sammy. How's it going?

[Because why not. He's not going anywhere for a while yet, apparently.]

I know there's crap going on with some of you in another door, but this is for all those folks that got sick a little while ago. Is everyone [...] getting better?

[And he's finally awake. With no clue of what's happened at all (having never seen the message about the toxin before being knocked out), only that he's in a sterile looking room. Not captured, and probably not prisoner, as his phone is on the small table next to the bed. It takes a while to get his fingers to work, as his whole body hurts and his head is killing him. (And, if he's honest, because he can still hear - just a bit - the voices of his friends calling to him for help. Whether it's memory or hallucination is hard to tell.)]

[To each separately.]
Crossing my fingers for a reply here. Checking in?

[Avengers +]
How many of us are infected?


[Clint B]
Are you alright?

Who: Sam W, Bucky B
What: Sam being the next victim of Crane's shenanigans
Where: Marvel, NYC
When: Now-ish
Warnings/Rating: PTSD type symptoms, Crane's shenanigans, flashbacks, angst

( They were all going to fall, every last one of them. )

[Locked to Bruce B & Tony S]
[He forwards the link of information sent to him by Selina. (Tony is included, because he thinks it'll be good for him to have something to do.)] I'm going to go try and gather whatever it is he left behind. Should I be looking for anything specific?

[Locked to Avengers+]
We might well have a man, named Crane, alias Scarecrow, from the DC door here with us. He's a sadist who deals in fear. He drugs people for fun, to terrify them. According to a credible source, "[w]hen he was testing things in your world, he doused a school with something to make the children fearless, just to see what they'd do. Then, he used a stronger version on us. He likes fear gas best. He has a particular fondness for straightjackets and cells and needles, all in conjunction, preferably."

I will attach a visual when I get one. [Pictures provided by Dick, five in total, of one Dr. Crane, attached.] I am in contact with people from the DC door about his presence here.

Note: We are not apprehending this man, as there's no evidence of a crime that is not circumstantial as of yet. But we are to be on the lookout for him. With the strangeness on the news today, I think that's the least we can do.

He has a few abandoned labs around, locations that should be watched or patrolled, just in case, as he's currently in the wind. There's is one laboratory each, in: Harlem, Chinatown, Bronx, and Midtown. Anyone up for it?

ETA: [Locked to Bucky B & Sam W]
[During this.]

You boys up for trailing Barton? The coordinates for the lab in Harlem I give him aren't going to be the correct ones. I'll be watching that one myself. We'll see if the misinformation permeates anywhere.

ETA 2.0: [Locked to Gwen S]
Ms. Stacy?

ETA 3.0: [Locked to Peter P]
[During this.]

Peter, can you make it to Stark Tower to meet Jack?

[Locked to Avengers+]
Has there been any movement on finding out what happened at Stark Tower?

[Locked to Sharon C]
Sharon, I gave Gwen Stacy your phone number. She's helping Peter look into the Oscorp experiments. I asked her to call you, if she ever needed to reach us and couldn't through Peter.

Jack also told us today the woman in that photograph is Brielle Maheu, known to him and his friends. He said she came over with them from [...] Las Vegas, so there might not be anything on her out there. He does want us looking into it, rather than the NYPD on the grounds that "they won't know what they're getting themselves into."

[Locked to Bucky B & Sam W]
What's the word on Barton, boys?

[Locked to Charles X]
Sir, I'd like a word.

[Locked to Tony S]
The symbiote has been stowed in Loki's old holding cell, inside of a containment unit of Ms. Stacy's design. We need a longer term solution, and I need to update you on that situation.

[Locked to Pepper P]
I'm sorry you weren't included in the discussion about Tony, Ms. Potts.

[Locked to Selina K]
You spoke with Tony, I take it?

[Locked - Sam Wilson]

Hey, Sam. I don't think we've gotten near enough of a chance to chit chat.

[After this.]

[Locked to Avengers+, sans Bruce B & Tony S, incl. Sharon C, Bucky B, Sam W, & Wanda M]
Situation update:

The urgent situation in DC that Dr. Banner had gone to assist with has taken a few unfortunate twists, though they have made some progress. Mr. Stacy, who was involved, has been injured. She's been brought back this side. She is currently stable, as far as I know, her prognosis is unknown. Dr. Banner continues to lend a hand and we are all to remain here and out of Gotham until he's back and/or the situation is fully resolved. I'm getting infrequent updates from parties involved and will relay them as they come. I've excluded Dr. Banner from this post, so as to allow him to continue focusing on the task at hand.

Tony is unchanged. I believe Ms. Potts has been named the interim director of his Board of Directors, acting from out of town.

We are still unsure as to what caused the blast at Stark Tower, but things continue to lean toward someone with a power targeting the Tower. We do not know why. Wanda is still looking into the matter, following the few leads she's gathered. We'll keep Barton on watch duty, if you don't mind, Clint. Carol, if you could assist. The two of you can work out what you need to. No specifics, so much as keeping your eyes peeled for suspicious behavior/persons near the Tower.

Wanda, do we know if the blast came from inside? If so, if Natasha and Sharon could work on gathering the security footage and names of people going into Stark Tower that evening, if available. If it came from outside, then footage might be helpful, but without a name, I don't know how much we'll learn, even if we do see anything.

Peter, Natasha, and Jessica: what did you discover, with regards to your mission with the person offering powers?

Peter, Bucky should be getting in touch with you privately soon.

Does anyone have any skills when it comes to engineering? Sam Wilson, whose name I'm sure you've seen around, has a suit he needs fixed. Can someone lend a hand? This is also a good time for an introduction. Sam, everybody. Everybody, Sam. Sam helped me in DC. He's a good man and a friend. If there's no one who can help, Sam, we can wait for Tony, or I can give it a shot. But I make no promises on how good it'll turn out.

Buck, if I could get an update from you privately.

Torunn and James, I don't know how busy Peter is—Peter?—but if he's occupied, it would be great if you could continue as you've been doing.

Thor, are you still off-world?

Ms. Drew, I realized I don't know [...] enough about your powers and skills.

Did I miss anything? Does anyone need anything? If anyone wants to step out, has other plans, &c., of course do so.

[Steve R]
Do you happen to know where Tony is and why that place isn't the hospital?

[James R]
How's the skateboarding coming along?

[Sam W]
How are you settling in here in NY?

[Locked to Sam W]
Sam?

[Locked to Eddie N]
As far as I could gather, no changes with Ms. Stacy.

[Locked to Avengers+, sans Bruce B & Tony S, incl. Sharon C, Bucky B, Sam W, & Wanda M]
Here's our current status, folks:

Natasha, Jessica, and Peter are all in the Harry Potter door on a mission with an unknown timeframe. They may require backup at a moment's notice.

Dr. Banner has gone to DC to help them with a problem. I do not want anyone else going to help, unless we are asked by members of the Batfamily themselves.

Tony's status is unchanged.

Thor, I need your status. Are you still at the hospital?

Wanda, after looking at Stark Tower, is there anything you can tell us, anything you've extrapolated about the event that caused the glass to break? Clint said he didn't find anything on his search from the past couple of days. Banner had some more to say here, but nothing conclusive. I'd like you to, if you could, see what you can find out about cause.

Torunn, James, in Peter's absence, if you could split patrols of the city, it would be appreciated. Try to remain inconspicuous.

Sharon, see if S.H.I.E.L.D. has information that could be of use to us, on similar phenomena, &c.

Carol, if Thor is gone from the hospital, if you could hang out around there, keep an eye out for anything strange, I'd be grateful. Even if he is there, with Banner gone, we could use another set of eyes.

Barton, stay near the Tower and keep a lookout.

Bucky, Sam, I need to speak with the both of you.

I'll continue helping with clean-up at the site.

Any updates, feel free to add them here, or I'm going to keep my comm on.

[Locked to Selina K]
Banner is in DC.

Happy Birthday Dad.

Who: Sam W and Steve
What: Middle of the night talks
Where: Steve's apartment in Stark Tower, NYC
When: Now-ish
Warnings/Rating: IDK? Probably some nightmares/PTSD type talk, but will update specifics if needed.

( You could only try to battle wills with Captain America for so long before he rolled right over you )

[Steve R.]

So, you going to tell me what a guy's supposed to get for his new 90+ year old friend for a birthday present?


[Ford C.]
[After a bit of thought.]

Not sure how this all works yet. Do people keep talking to each other after the weird stuff happens to them?


[Bucky B.]
[After even more thought.]

Checking in?


[Natasha R.]

Steve's birthday is Friday.

[After the news about Tony, but before Steve goes out running (and Bruce B posts).]

[Locked to Sam W]
Going for a run downtown. Want to come?

[Locked to Peggy C]
Stark made it through his surgery, but they have to open him up again in a couple weeks. Thought you should know.

[Locked to Bucky B]
Back. Stark came through the surgery, but he needs another. Text me if you need me.

[Locked to Pepper P]
I'll be stopping by later. Do you need anything?

[Public]

I can't tell if it's frustrating or comforting that the more things change the more things stay the same. I'm going with both. And in the meantime, beer me.

[A note left for each, individually, on torn paper, but in careful penmanship, stuck for Peggy under her door, and for Sam, just on the refrigerator by the ancient postcard collection. If they try to write to him, there is no response.]

Off for a few days. No journal. Call if you need me.

Your friend,
Steve Rog

[Public, Anon]
I know I'm late to this, but I'm looking for a guy from the mall thing. Upstairs, talking about the Terminator? [...] You around? I've got some apologies to make, if you are.


[Bucky B]
[This one takes some time to work himself up to. He posts with his name, not anon for this convo.]

I think we probably should talk.

[To both Steve and Natasha]

What the hell was that?


[Bucky]
Is it always
How can we trust
What the
Dammit
