Network

So I discovered who switched out the coffee with decaf those weeks ago. Summer interns.

Note to self: never again ask for a summer intern.

Hello! My name's Michael, and I will be working here! Not here, on this network, you know but in Irvine, CA, which is pretty cool, gotta say! You guys heard of Tony Stark? Yeah, he hired me.

Well, not him. Some jerkface in HR, but still. Pretty good, huh? Yeah. Looking forward to it, I
really am.

That's what she said.

It's good to be home.

Can I go back to work yet?

Is it really so onerous to at least attempt to respect the sanctity lunch ownership in a communal fridge?

I mean, really?

I don't think I've ever been ordered to take a vacation before.

In the middle of the crazy, managed to squeeze in a non-Stark wedding.

Maria Hill made me the happiest man on the planet, period.

I will protect you all if it kills me.


These blue things you're seeing are called Husks. They're dangerous, they're deadly, they have no emotion, no feeling and no individuality left.

If you're reading this message than you're probably a dreamer.

If you're not a fighter, run. If you are, don't feel any remorse when you defend yourselves. You're doing them a favor.

I grew up in Portland, Maine, but somehow, I never became aware of the North American Wife Carrying Competition that was annually held in Newry, about two hours away. Apparently a couple wins the wife's weight in beer, and five times her weight in cash.

I do accept that that's a substantial weight of cash. It might be the only sport I can see a point in, though I'm not sure I'd try it myself. ... I mean, I have no wife, but still.

Lockdown's complete. This place is essentially a giant safehouse.

If you don't stop giving me shit about the purse I'm going to end you.

I just got talked into adopting a cat.

By the cat.

I hate waking up sore. Dragons or not, Office Blake is getting old.

I don't get how Auron and Tyreal keep going some days.

I've heard this is the place to introduce ourselves, so here goes. I'm Ariadne Cooper, new architect at Stark Industries. I just moved to California from Paris, so needless to say this is kind of culture shock.

It's nice to meet you all though! Er, so to speak.

What is it now? 3-0? I'm actually starting to lose count of how many disastrous wedding attempts Tony and I have had at this point.

I can't believe I'm making another one of these posts

Despite popular opinion The Dragons were NOT a part of the wedding event. We did not hire dragons or a dragon tamer to put on a show during the reception. Believe me, I checked the invoices and our bank accounts. I thought it was another terrible idea of Tony's at first too.

We will, of course, be paying the hospital bills for anyone who was harmed during our attempted wedding. Please, everyone, accept our sincerest apologies for yet another wedding mishap. I'm not sure we will be attempting another one on such a large scale.

Oh, son of a bitch.

Anyone who wears sneakers with a suit deserves to get soaked in the rain. Just saying.

Pepper, are you sure about that location?

Everyone knows Emerald Bay smells like ass.

Only took a matter of weeks but I finally have found a decent tailor and tea shop.

Bloody Americans. Feeling more at home already.

Secure filter to Tony Stark
Not gonna be in until this illness is gone. Currently at Irvine General. Stay vigilant. Security's going to be spread thin and Crowley isn't one to miss a potential opportunity.

Secure filter to Eames
We never did get to talk about why you're in Orange County.

I'd like to point out that the Stark New Years Party has been open for a whole 40 minutes without a shooting, so Clint Barton get the fuck down from the rafters already. You're freaking everyone out up there.

[Arthur Smith]

He make any moves?

Huh. How about that.

Anyone else looking outside just now?

So, at first this was just going to be for Stark Industries, but then I realized I was a rampaging douche to virtually all of you, so let's do this right.

I'm sorry I'm a dick. Come eat Turkey tomorrow. Irvine Campus, all day.

I'm making the cranberry sauce.

So, I need a Halloween costume. Bond girl.

Any thoughts? And no, not Pussy Galore and the first person who says it is getting smacked upside the head.

So I know nothing is working, so all publicly to everyone, if anyone knows Arthur Smith could you tell him Ariadne needs to talk to him?

Super ASAP?

Can anyone point me in the direction of a good tailor? I've always heard the best way to find a good business in a new place is to ask the locals, and I need a new suit.
