I realize that we're over our comfortable limit for crazy at the moment, but anyone want to volunteer for contracting an ancient curse? Cross something off the old bucket list? I've got some sliders here with your name on them.

DAUGHTER!

So as you saw on CNN, there's a situation in Paraguay. It does resemble the attack on the Fort Neill base in the last 90's. The Bureau is looking into official channels to speak with anyone on the base or anyone with any knowledge of the base. This is a very precarious situation due to an international military being involved. Please do not attempt something on your own; you could jeopardize what we're trying to do.

The Bureau will keep you as updated as we can.

We'll reach out when there is a need for assistance.

FILTERED TO T'CHALLA, OKOYE, RHODEY, TINA COHEN-CHANG, SAM WILSON (616), CAROL DANVERS, KATE BISHOP, CLINT BARTON (616), SIF:

Can you guys be on call in case we need backup at the Bureau?

We don't know how many people might end up needing to go. We don't know if we're going to be attacked again, but I'd like to make sure we have people on our side. Those of you with bigger powers — looking at you Danvers — may end up stationed at exits just in case it gets by everyone else. If you've got suggestions for others, let me know.

FORT NEILL RESETTLEMENT BUREAU:

We're working on negotiations to get down to Paraguay to see if we can get inside that building, take a look at the fresh scene and what it looks like. I'm not going to lie, if it's anything like the aftermath we found here, it's going to be a bloody mess. If your stomach's a little on the light side, let me know. Do not compromise this by whining. I will not hesitate to fire you if that happens.

Anyone with computer experience, I'd like to get you all working on grabbing every image, video, and audio leak we can find. More than that, I want to look into other potential military bases getting hit with strange and sudden shut downs. I want all of them, even if they've been decommissioned in a property ceremony.

BUCKY BARNES MCU:

I'm probably going to need a raincheck on that vacation.

[ FILTERED TO HENRY MILLS' PARENTS + TONY STARK ]*
Good afternoon. My name is Jim Rhodes and I help Tony Stark look after Peter Parker, who I believe you know as Henry's friend. The three of us are planning a trip out to California this weekend and we were wondering if Henry would like to join us so that Peter has company his own age?

Unfortunately, teenagers think they're too cool to hang out with old men like Tony and I.

You got me Balam Komarov. He's the one loose end that I want to take out, before I give this a rest.

You in?

Generally less enthused about the Saturday Morning Cartoon experience now than I was going in. Still, I guess I can see the humor in the whole hit-by-a-cartoon-ambulance thing. Packs a bigger punch than a Lego Hulk, as it turns out.

[ PETER PARKER, cc: JAMES RHODES ]

Your days of freedom are about to dip into the single digits. Did you get anything from the school with a list of how many number two pencils you need or whatever?

Has everyone been restored? No more living drawings?


[James Rhodes]

Have your machinations ever failed you? What do you do then?

I gotta say, as far as portals shenanigans go, this one might be my favorite.

Can anyone out there beat jingoistic water foul?

MICHAEL!

This isn't giant cat overlords in bowties.

[Tony & Jim, aka The Adults]

Hey, so I have some questions?

1. Who's Thanos?
2. What's an Infinity Stone?
3. People turn into black dust???
4. Asgard is gone?
5. Is this what Tony remembering and getting stabbed was about?
6. Is everyone okay? I mean besides Tony getting stabbed. Cuz, you're going to be okay, right? You got the nanotech?

Okay, thanks.

And I do mean literally anything.

And some of your old people.

Codenames, bros. We need them. If you have one already, then aces. If not and you don't wanna come up with one, then hit me. I'll come up with one.

Remember this is for communications, so it needs to be something we can easily say, and not get confused with someone else's name.

Hey Rhodey!

We need to get you a sailor hat. Stat.

So I have a favor to ask you.

Attention portal-napped members of Tumbleweed.

Team America House is having a BBQ on Sunday. Some of you may know that we all came from a previous alternate reality where we were taken through a portal to Hawaii. As such, a couple of us have become obsessed with Kālua. Cooking in an underground oven. On the menu: pig. Don't worry, there will be vegetarian options on regular BBQ too.

Come join us Sunday at 1pm at our house for eats, and watch Bucky work his cooking skills.

There will be lots of food and music, so if you're free, come stop by!

Blackpoint people, this is non-optional for you unless you have to work or experience some sort of life crisis. Or you're Henry, because I know I can't win that fight.

Good morning, Rhodey. How do you like the houseplants I left you?

[ooc: after this, Kurama left a number of semi-sentient, highly annoying Venus flytraps animated by his spiritual energy all over Rhodey's room last night. They're nippy.]

Spy types, roll call part 2.

RHODEY'S BLACK OPS GROUP:

I got tasked with getting codenames for the group so we don't end up compromised if our communications get intercepted.

So I'm going by Hawkeye, my usual. Rhodey's going by his usual: War Machine.

Do you have a codename you want to go by? Or do you want me to give you one? This is so cool and official

ETA: Names will be here

Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night.

In all realness, I'm sorry for letting the rest of my shit boil up and taking it out on you. I'm coming back tonight. Is that okay with you?

[ FILTERED TO BLACK OPS GROUP ]
Human traffickers. A group operating out of Nova Scotia. Why Nova Scotia? Guess we're going to find out, but they're trading Americans, so that's why they're getting us involved.

Riggs, Echo, Lance. I want you three out there to gather intel. Flights have been booked for you to go out tomorrow night and you can pick up your IDs for this mission at the Facility anytime tomorrow morning. I'll send you what we already have, but your goals are the following: find out where they are holding those that we're trying to rescue, find out how big of a ring this is, call for backup if you need it, go in and leave the bad guys in a position to be arrested, and save the victims. Standard stuff.

Who is available to work comms? Shifts of ten hours until the mission is done.

We used to be Avengers, but now we TP houses to make ourselves feel alive again.]

I’m going to be out of town until Saturday morning, but the 4th is coming up and fireworks are some of my favorite things. Does anyone have plans for it?

So last night?

That kind of thing happen regularly around here?

There was a bridge troll telling people not to cross its bridge and picking fights with those who didn't like being told what to do, right?

Because that was fun.

Hands up who's lost. I think I can give you something a little more reliable than floating lights to follow.

Sneaky spy types, roll call.

We've gotten three bogeys on our portal scanner, and they are not in town. Ones in Queens, another in Kearney, Nebraska, and the other is in Siberia. This is an all hands on deck situation, as we're ridiculously understaffed. Our Googler is on the internet, looking for social media related to it. So far, it's just portals. We have no idea what's coming.

I need civilians who are willing to fight whatever comes out of there and take orders.
