Some Reality Web

I'd like to believe that that one's real. Not only for the promise of giving things another try with T'Challa, but to be able to meet Azari... though, hopefully, for a longer time than I've been told.

Seems we have a full house again.


[Bucky]

Tell me you're okay. I need to know.

I keep seeing you falling


[James]

Hey, kiddo. Sorry you came at such a rough time. Can't say earlier would have been better. Then again you were here Anything I can do to help in the settling?

Lesson learned. No mirrors. Ignore the knife stuck in the one in my room.

[Friends of Wanda Maximoff]

Wanda hasn't been back to the apartment, and we haven't heard from her. I think she may have been sent back.

[Steve Rogers]

We're down to two.

[Tony, Natasha, Sam, Bucky, Bruce]

This must be an example of this Entity giving and taking. I haven't been able to find James. Is there a place I could have missed? I didn't want to worry the other kids just yet.

On the off-chance I end up with this thing following me for the rest of my life, what do you actually feed an ostrich?

[Marvel Adults Plus Friends Of Natasha and Clint]*


I have no idea how to say this. I just wanted to let you guys know what's happening. Yesterday morning, Clint woke up and he couldn't see. We had Joan take
a look at him (thank you, Joan) and long story short after an MRI to confirm things, it seems that the whack on the head he took during the Monster Mash has led to some brain swelling. There is a chance that the swelling will resolve on its own but there is no guarantee. We hope that's the case since the other alternative would be surgery.

I'll be sticking close to home for now, I'm leaving Gamora and Nebula in charge of the dance studio/gym so if you have classes there or whatever, check with them. If you need some maintenance type stuff done, any volunteers would be great. Clint told me that most of the big stuff was taken care of but there might still be a few things. We have no idea how long this will last but we're hoping not too long.

Clint is doing okay otherwise but we're both in shock over this whole thing. I'll try to keep you updated or if you want to send me a message, that'd be fine too.

[Steve Rogers]

I'm leaving what to tell James up to you, I trust your judgement. He's getting over his own stuff and I didn't want to give him anything else to worry about. I've been checking on him every day and he might wonder if I don't show up. So thanks.



*[Since between the two of them, they pretty much know everybody, I thought it'd be easier to do it this way so if you think your character fits the category, they probably do. I didn't include kids/Teenagers since Nate will probably tell them]

Last time Thor turned up I completely forgot to warn him I was from a different universe. Eventually he gave up and just straight asked if I'd always been a doctor and he just didn't notice, which was awkward at the time but kind of hilarious in retrospect. The point is there's about half a dozen different universes that all overlap and most of them are pretty similar (and basically seem to hinge on whether or not mutants exist, for some reason). Then there's James', which I'm sure you've heard about, and mine.

You might have started to realise that I can be a massive asshole. Probably not enough that you're not having some kind of kneejerk "that's not true" reaction right now, but there's an inkling there. I am moody and withdrawn and selfish. If you try to make me talk about my feelings I will deflect, and if that doesn't work I go on the attack. I have trust issues and probably some kind of post traumatic whatever. When I first turned up I just assumed everyone was faking being sickeningly nice, so that's two years of progress for you.

Anyway, a couple of months after we got here I wrote a sort of explanation of where I was coming from and, you know, why I'm like this, and I dug it out to avoid another "so have you been a doctor all along?" conversation.

Try not to emote at me too much. (If you connect the dots in there, Tony's kind of my weird AU father in law. It's a fun plot twist.)

That was a hell of a week. Throw in surprise Cupid catching you off guard and blurting wishes and here we are.

[Betty]

I honestly can't thank you enough, but He shouldn't be a problem anymore.

This definitely isn't how I expected our first Valentine's. Plans for next weekend?

[Lyra]

You and I need to have a talk, young lady.

I get a surprise in Aragorn arriving but at what cost? The loss of one of my closest only non-Asgardian friends. I was going to check on Lara and she is gone.

I... Hate this

I'll be at Ratty's if anyone needs me.

I suggest not needing me.


[I figured I should name the dive bar he's been dragged out of a couple times before, so it's now Rattahan's.

[Steve Rogers]
Your son is requesting that I give him a blood transfusion sourced from either you or Bucky in order to boost whatever serum is already in his system in the hopes it will make him heal faster. Obviously, I declined.

[Medical]
Any non-standard treatment requested by James Rogers is to be run by me first. No matter what I'm doing, unless I'm actually dead, I clear it or it doesn't happen.


cw: likely to be discussion of human experimentation in the comments, plus sam's ptsd is legit triggered right now

There is so much damage. I'm going to start helping to rebuild a few places this evening.

Steve, Bucky - there is a stew in the freezer that you can heat for dinner if you're hungry.

I'm awake. For real this time.


hopefully i can leave soon?

Okay... so like i really liked it when daddy finally looked like me and green daddy is nice and strong and stuff but

he doesnt cook me my favorite foods or give me stupid veggies or tuck me in or read me bedtime stories and i really miss regular daddy for that.

they both give good hugs though.

[Comms]

>> I'm out for today.
>> One of my kids is hurt.

[Pepper]

Can you get someone else to handle the network?

[Uncle Bruce]

Are you okay? Lyra told me what happened.

[Public, added later once she finds out]

My brother is hurt. I won't be available.

[Tony and Steve]
Did Laura already tell you guys?
[/]

[Medical]
I'm heading home for a few hours. Don't wake me unless James someone's dying.
[/]

I know I don't have much weight here and that's plenty fine with me but we need to be cautious. We need to be more careful. There are too many people getting hurt. Being a hero doesn't always mean putting your life on the line. Just keep that in mind.


[Tony]

You know I used to be better at this. I think I'm losing my touch.


[Bucky]

Still in one piece?


[James]

Haven't heard from you kid in a while. Is everything good?

I've locked down my training center for anyone who finds themselves on the west side of the city and needs to find a place to take cover. All classes are canceled until these creatures are either gone or killed.
