TEXT TO DAVID ALLEYNE:

-- A. You okay?
-- B. Are you at Lord of the Nerds?

[Tommy Shepherd]

Hey, dude. This is going to sound really crazy, but I'm in Bayonne, New Jersey. This universe's Spider-man is here with me, and someone really whupped his ass. Can you get him back to the Avengers Mansion? Spider-man can't die on my watch, so we need speed.

[Genome Project Team]

Hey guys. Harry Osborn is nowhere to be found, but I tracked down Spider-man. He's in critical condition. Dr. Gates, can you get to Avengers Mansion? I have a friend dropping him off there.

TO: Peter Parker (MCU)

Hey, have you heard anything from Harry since you had that talk about how Spider-man can't help him?

First order of things...

( Cut for picture, not filtered )

Yes, you're all invited, and that being said, New York, I'm back! And I am pretty sure that Oxford is about twenty degrees warmer than you right now. But it was great. The professors are great, the labs are awesome and I guess the country is amazing too. And spending New Year's there was some experience. Even though it was 90% work with little play and little breathing room and I come back to more work (hello, Spring semester), I'm still glad I went.

Second order of things. Is catching up. What did I miss?

Filter: David Alleyne

Good to know you and the city are still here and not in the water.

Filter: Ben Reilly, Barry Allen, David Alleyne

Okay.. Ben and David, this is Barry Allen. Barry, this is Ben Reilly and David Alleyne.

You three are literally the only ones who I told about the glowing, so you three get to know about me doing a thing again. Today. Moments okay. I just broke a door.

TEXT TO DAVID ALLEYNE:

-- Won't be home tonight.
-- Do you want anything from South America?

[David Alleyne]

I think I screwed up, and I don't think I can fix

The way we talk about the Tesseract reminds me of a cargo cult sometimes.

[Gwen Stacy]

How are you doing?

[Young Avengers]

Do we have plans for Friday, or are we just going to wing it?

[Team Retroviral Hyperplasia*]

Hey everyone.

Now that you've all had time to go over the information that Stark sent out, it's time we set up a team meeting so that we're all on the same page. We'll share what we know and draft up a strategy so that we're utilizing everyone's strengths effectively moving forward.

I understand we've all got day jobs or at least other responsibilities, so what about an evening next week? We can even have it catered. Hit me with your food suggestions.

*Anyone interested in helping with the research for this plot.

Who: Gwen Stacy and David Alleyne
When: Wednesday, October 15, late morning
Where: The streets of Manhattan
What: On their way to the gym, Gwen finds out about Doc Connors jail status.
Rating: TBD

( Gwen probably wouldn't have had to rush this quickly.. )

I am so over pumpkin spice already, and it's not even October.

[Tommy Shepherd]

Hey, man. You are planning on coming back, right? The food in your half of the fridge is going to go bad soon, and I'm going to start eating it.

[Peter Parker (MCU)]

You okay, dude? You were acting kind of weird on Saturday.

[Tony Stark (MCU)]

The New York Genome Center looks like a go. We just need to set up a meeting to finalize the funding details. They'll work around your schedule.

[David Alleyne]

I've got a little job for you.

Consider it your initiation to Stark Industries.

( Shouldn't we be talking about saving the world? )

All I am remembering right now with this hot weather is that I promised myself to stay away from water and seafood because of very nearly bringing on Octopus Apocalypse, and now I regret that promise because I could use a dive into the water again. Or another ice bucket.

Filter: David Alleyne

I think I was in a rush to get the heck out of the central grid -- or Peter was, or maybe both -- that I never got around to saying thank you for the help that day.

Who: Tommy Shepard/Speed and David Alleyne/Prodigy
When: Backdated to earlier this week, whatever
Where: Noodle restaurant somewhere in NYC
What: Just a short conversation over food
Rating: E for Everyone

( I see absolutely no downsides at all. )

[Tommy Shepherd]

So how long has your brother been flirting with Loki?

[Peter Parker (MCU)]

Hey, Spider-man.

[Tony Stark (MCU)]

This is Prodigy, the newest Young Avenger to come through. Nice AI you've got there.

[Young Avengers + New X-Men]

Anyone know where I can get a car for a few days? I'm thinking about heading down to Westchester, just to see what it's like here, and I don't want to get slapped with a $52/day surcharge on a rental for being 20.

[Avengers]

I'm almost a little surprised the Bugle didn't suggest that I'm Norman Osborn. It's not every day they blame something on someone that isn't me.

Anyway, I don't know what is going to happen now, but I'm going to try and talk to Harry and see what he knows, or what they've told him. I want to find out of these Norman Osborn claims hold any water, of if this is just -- well, if this is just the Bugle being the Bugle. They tend to miss the mark.

[Harry Osborn (Filtered as Spider-Man)]

So hey there.

Been a busy week for you, huh?
