Empire City Network

Alright, here's the deal.

I spoke to Zudeh, and there's absolutely no way these people are going to allow us to close the south portal without waging war on us in return. They want whatever is going to come through, as ridiculous as it sounds.

Now here's the problem; if we stay, we will be fighting whatever comes through that portal on our own. Zudeh has no intention on fighting by our side or allowing us to fight by hers, which means the army that we have at our disposal is in this city. And it's not impressive, considering what could come through that thing.

Our options are to take Glory's offer on that portal, sit and wait for whatever comes through the Gate, or have the Daedra wage war against us.

So our option, really, is to go through that portal.

Alright, I want to make a few things clear.

Apparently a couple of you might know me by my face and my name. Whatever movies you saw were wrong. My father was a good man, he wasn't some monster that went around the city terrorizing people, and I'm a good person. I'm not the Green Goblin, my father wasn't the Green Goblin, and whatever fuckwad wrote that movie and directed it needs to be cut up into little pieces is a liar.

I'm a good person.

I saw that you were able to make brooms. What else can you make fly?

[Private to Peter Parker]
What did those comics say about my father, Peter?

I've comprised a list of patrol teams for the time being, - I expect each of you to put aside any potential differences and do what is necessary to defend this city during times of escalated activity regarding the supernatural beings. These are of course, subject to change but I encourage you to think of the mission at hand. As for further volunteers, I will always accept them.

( The list is as follows )

Alright boys and girls, as the Major has said before, the party is now at my place. There are a few rules.

The security of the tower is in the process of being changed, but I still need to make sure everyone who needs to get in can, and everyone who shouldn't, can't. Good news for us, there aren't too many of us that would make the process unmanageable, so I need all of you to stop at the tower within the next 24 hours in order to scan your eyes. The only way to get to a different floor in the tower is to scan your retina to open the elevator, from there you can get anywhere you need to go. I say 24 hours because I like deadlines, and I don't think any of you have dinner plans you need to cancel.

As for the rules. The hospital will be on the bottom floor, it's the safest place to be if something happens, but you'll be able to go anywhere in the tower. We have people living here, so unless you're going to the medical center or a conference room, don't go anywhere else, it's most likely a residential floor. I think we've learned to trust each other by now, but even so, Romanoff has been put on 'security duty'. And by 'been put on', I mean claimed. She's threatened all of the residents with bodily harm if we go anywhere near her room, and we're her teammates. I don't want to imagine what she'd do to anyone else who invades her lady space.

Another rule is stay out of my lab. It's the floor above the basement, and it's a bad idea for anyone to go in there. The security of that room hasn't been changed, mostly because half of the things that are in there can seriously harm someone who doesn't know how to use them.

While you're staying at Hotel Stark, be aware that JARVIS, my AI system, will be here to satisfy your every need. He's capable of finding information and answering all questions, just don't flirt with him. He's mine, and I'm the jealous type.

If any of you have questions you can ask me, but here's a recap.

Don't touch anyone else's stuff.

Don't touch my stuff.

Follow those, and we'll all be golden.

[Private to Natasha]

You know I'd like to invite you over, but I'm afraid you're so hot that you'll skyrocket Tony's air-conditioning bill.

Well.


This is interesting.

Lady Natasha says I must use this... technology, and I must use it to speak with others.

I am Thor, Son of Odin. Know that I am an ally, and that the people of this city are under my protection though this is not your Earth.

Dear Avengers (or at least Steve and Tony),

I'm ready to show off whenever! I'm all healed up and feel almost human again. Will this be a "come to Stark Tower" thing or what? I don't know the protocol you guys might have for testing out what someone can or can't do.

[Private to Avengers, Screened from Natasha]

So. Guess what I did.

Or rather... Who I did.

[Private to Avengers]

Bruce is gone.

I just knocked on his door and walked in. The floor is empty.

I don't want to be the one to say this but our numbers are getting smaller.
